She was one of the rarest dancers owning by sense of humour together with the gift of dramatic acting. So her best part I think was Katharina in Taming of the screw, staged by Cranko also.

Beautiful recording! So wonderful to see Cragun and Haydee in their best work captured so magically!

Thank you for posting this, what a gift. Do you know what year it was filmed?

I am 23, have never seen a live ballet performance(besides a field trip in elementary school), theatre show, or even been to a concert. I was raised as a first generation Vietnamese American, from a large family. I don't know anyone personally who appreciates ballet/dance, theatre, or orchestral music. And I don't believe anyone knows I do, as much as I do. I must say, this performance was amazing!

Reid Anderson is now one of the most influential ballet directors in the world. His dancers are magic for modern times. I have seen over 1000 ballet performances in my life and Stuttgart is a kind of strange ballet-mecca. extraordinary.

How wonderful to have found this! I have been looking for Haydee/Cragun videos for many years. Saw them several times live in the 60's and 70's and never found their equal. Exquisite!

I got to see them do this live way back in 1973 or 1974 in Stuttgart. Great memories.
