Mark Morris Dance Group returns with an evening of dance set to the chart-topping music of Burt Bacharach.“This is choreography that, in the words of the song, says ‘more than just words could ever say.’” —The New York Times
Mark Morris Dance Group returns to Toronto with a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach, just a year after the musician’s passing. A towering figure across decades of popular music, Bacharach was known for crafting soaring melodies embedded in unique orchestrations influenced by jazz, rock, and Brazilian music; his longtime lyricist Hal David providing poignant, often bittersweet lyrics.
Following the roaring success of his Beatles tribute Pepperland, Mark Morris teams up again with musical collaborator Ethan Iverson for The Look of Love. This showpiece features original choreography by Morris and new, lush musical arrangements by Iverson performed by a unique ensemble of vocals, piano, trumpet, bass, and percussion, with singer, actress, and Broadway star Marcy Harriel on lead vocals.
Bacharach’s marvelous music “calls out for dancing,” says Morris. You’ll hear new arrangements of over a dozen classic hits performed live by the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Music Ensemble, from “I Say a Little Prayer” to “Walk on By” to “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.” Resounding with ingenuity and musicality, The Look of Love is a must-see for dance and music fans alike.
