Performer: Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble

It's 33 years since its premiere in Brussels, and in its eighth season in New York at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, this irreverent American classic is still firing on all cylinders.

The Mark Morris Dance Company at Sadler’s Wells: Greek Tragedies and other visual counterpoints with plenty of references to dance history, all served with a delicate ironic touch.

Even Mikhail Baryshnikov was curious to stop by the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on Thursday March 1st to the witness the world premiere of Mark Morris’ A Choral Fantasy. The work sets movement to the score of Beethoven’s Fantasy in C minor for piano, chorus, and orchestra, Op. 80.
