The Stuttgart Ballet ranks among the world's most celebrated dance companies, its identity shaped indelibly by the legendary choreographer John Cranko during his directorship from 1961 to 1973. Cranko's full-length narrative ballets — Romeo and Juliet, Onegin, The Taming of the Shrew — remain cornerstones of the international repertoire and the company's artistic DNA. Performing at the Staatstheater Stuttgart, the ensemble blends classical virtuosity with dramatic intensity that few companies can match. Stuttgart continues to nurture choreographic talent, ensuring its legacy of storytelling through movement endures.

The Experience
Acoustics, seating, and what to expect
Acoustics
4.5/ 5
The Staatsoper Stuttgart is highly regarded for its acoustics, with a design praised for flattering voices and orchestral sound. The third tier is particularly noted for excellent acoustic properties.
Best Seats
The third tier offers great acoustics; side tiers provide excellent views of the orchestra pit. Stalls seating places you close to the stage. Avoid seating beyond row 17 in the Orchestra section due to potential supertitle readability issues.
