In 1969, the Stuttgart Ballet made its American debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York with John Cranko's ballet "Onegin". The ballet, created in Germany four years earlier, was an immediate success. The next day in the New York Times, the renowned theatre critic Clive Barnes wrote: "Cranko's choreography has two major strengths. First is the authority of his ensemble work; here he shows complete stage mastery. But second, and eventually perhaps more important, is the elegance and expressiveness of his pas de deux."

Puschkin's "Eugene Onegin" has been called an "encyclopedia of Russian life". It would not be misplaced to call John Cranko's "Onegin" an encyclopedia of emotion – since love, particularly when unrequited, knows much about the fragile trembling of a bleeding heart.

Germany's first ever National Youth Ballet has been founded at the beginning of the 2011/2012 theatre season. The company consists of eight professional dancers between the ages of 18 to 23, and has begun work at its new home at the Ballettzentrum Hamburg – John Neumeier. With its own repertoire comprising mainly works by young choreographers, the group will predominantly dance in new spaces – not theatres, but schools, museums, nursing homes and even prisons; spaces in which dance does not usually attract much interest. The National Youth Ballet aims to demonstrate that dance has a social relevance creating a spirit of community and a sense of unity, focussing especially on a young audience.
