John Cranko is a classic twentieth century choreographer, but this light-hearted comedy of his based on Shakespeare is still considered one of the best in modern ballet repertoire.

It recalls the brilliant story of the rebellious Catherine, avoided by all those around her but for the contrary Petruchio. It is only his perverse stubbornness that leads to the taming of the unbearable shrew. Cranco was a master of characterization, and his characters are beloved by the audiences as well as by the dancers, as they create an opportunity for outstanding stage performances. Catherine goes through a true metamorphosis before our eyes: from a dauntless hellcat to Petruchio’s humble wife. He, in turn, can show off his manly cleverness, sense of humour and bravura dancing. And apart from them there is an entire gallery of stage figures straight from Italian commedia dell’arte. These are the favourite characters of the most famous ballet theatres in the world, and this season they will visit our stage as well in this charming family comedy.
