Last seen at the Met in the title role of Philip Glass’s Akhnaten, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo stars as the mythic hero who ventures into the underworld to rescue his beloved Euridice. Soprano Ying Fang is his ill-fated bride, with soprano Elena Villalón in her company debut as Amore, the god of love who sets Orfeo on his quest. Christian Curnyn makes his Met debut conducting Gluck’s sublime setting of the ancient tale, enlivened by exuberant choreography from the legendary Mark Morris and featuring members of his renowned dance group.

Returning to its West Coast home away from home, the Mark Morris Dance Group visits with a profoundly moving repertory work and the world premiere of a new Mark Morris creation. Praised as a “true and luminous masterpiece” by the New York Times, Socrates—danced to the music of Erik Satie performed live by members of the Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble—is a group dance from 2010 that dramatizes the great philosopher’s death through a series of tableaux that range from sensual to restrained, abstract to elegiac. Then, in a true season highlight, the company presents the world premiere of Via Dolorosa, set to Nico Muhly’s meditative composition The Street, inspired by the evocative, mysterious, and poetic texts of Alice Goodman and featuring harpist Parker Ramsay performing the score live. In the more than 35 years since the company first appeared on the UC Berkeley campus, the Mark Morris dancers have treated Cal Performances audiences to the first performances of more than a dozen new Morris works, many of which have gone on to become company classics—don’t miss this chance to be part of dance history!

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.
