[Machine Translation] From a regional ballet company to the pinnacle of the world stage. The astonishing life story and true character of a genius choreographer who achieved what has been called the miracle of the Stuttgart Ballet," only to meet a tragic end at a young age. John Cranko was making a name for himself as a rising star, choreographing for London s Royal Ballet and Sadler s Wells Ballet and developing a close friendship with Princess Margaret. However, he was charged with homosexual acts following a police sting operation. In 1960, forced to leave London, Cranko relied on his connections to secure a guest position with the Stuttgart Ballet. Having found a home at the Stuttgart Ballet, which accepted him without prejudice, Cranko was appointed artistic director the following year, in 1961, and went on to create works and a company that perfectly expressed beauty and passion through free-thinking, unbound by conventional wisdom. His innovatively choreographed *Romeo and Juliet* garnered acclaim, and *Onegin* one of the greatest masterpieces of dramatic ballet based on Pushkin s original work captivated and enthralled audiences. In 1969, the company was invited to perform at the Metropolitan Opera in New York; the performances were met with rave reviews, and the Stuttgart Ballet rose to the pinnacle of the world stage overnight. The company embarked on a grand world tour that even included the Soviet Union, reaching the very pinnacle of its success, but on June 26, 1973, tragedy struck aboard the plane returning from the United States.
