More than a decade after its West Coast premiere, Mark Morris’ sublime, joyful Mozart Dances returns to Zellerbach Hall in its eagerly awaited reprise. Morris’ buoyant, exhilarating choreography is set to three exquisite Mozart piano works—the Piano Concerto No. 11 in F major, K. 413; the Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448; and the Piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major, K. 595.
Pyotr Lambin, and Orest Allegri Costumes by Yevgeny Ponomarev Lighting design by Mikhail Sishliannikov The story of forbidden love and shocking betrayal, complete with a spectral voyage to the afterlife, radiates with colorful characters, opulent sets, and vibrant costumes, performed with the unmatched refinement, dramatic poise, and flawless technique that defines this centuries-old cultural institution.
