Mozart Dances
June 6-8, 2008

Inspired by the timeless music of Mozart, Mozart Dances features 16 dancers performing against the bold backdrops of British artist Howard Hodgkins and accompanied live by members of the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra.

         “The whole thing – all three dances, all nine        movements – was magical.”

                          The New York Times

“Mark Morris has devised some of the finest choreography of his life, and his company dances it with surgical exactitude and tenderness...one of the greatest dance events of the new century.”

Voice of Dance


All Fours / Violet Cavern
June 10-11, 2008

One of Morris’s instant classics, All Fours features 12 dancers performing to Bartok’s String Quartet no. 4. It is paired with Violet Cavern, a dance for 15 accompanied by a live score composed and performed by dynamic jazz collective
The Bad Plus.

Liebeslieder Waltzes / Grand Duo
June 14-15, 2008

Morris’s ravishing and popular ballets set to Brahms’s Liebesliederwalzer, op.52, and Neue Liebesliederwalzer, op. 65, paint a revealing picture of love in our time, with fleeting portraits of despair, comfort, ardour and loneliness, as well as relationships of every kind and size. These pieces, never before seen in Canada, are accompanied on the program
by a performance of Grand Duo, one of the group’s
most popular works.
