Kratt (2015)

"Kratt" (Estonian: Kratt) is an Estonian ballet in four acts by Eduard Tubin.[1] It is considered to be the first Estonian ballet.[2] The libretto is written by Elfriede Saarik. The ballet is entirely based on folk tunes.

The premiere was on 31 March 1943 in Vanemuine Theatre.[1]

Tubin started to create the ballet already in 1938.[citation needed] 2nd version was created in 1940–1941 and 3rd version in 1960.[1]
