Mozart Dances

Run Time: 2hr 15min

Three of Mozart's works for piano and orchestra - the Concerto No. 11 in F major, the Sonata in D major for Two Pianos, and the Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major - are the inspiration for this acclaimed evening length work by one of the world's most celebrated dance troupes. Recurring motifs link the three pieces: "Eleven," danced mostly by the women; "Double," in which the men come to the fore; and "Twentyseven," in which all 16 performers unite in an exuberant finale.

Members of the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra, conducted by Jane Glover, and pianists Ursula Oppens and Amy Dissanayake provide the live accompaniment as the endlessly inventive patterns of Mark Morris' choreography - by turns playful, fantastic, ritualistic, reflective and enigmatic- unfold against the bold backdrops of British abstract artist Howard Hodgkin.

Mozart Dances was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (New York), New Crowned Hope (Vienna), and the Barbican Centre (London).
