Our 2022-23 season centers on Mark Morris’s BOLD new creation, The Look of Love. This exhilarating evening-length work co-commissioned by a nationwide consortium of arts presenters, features more than a dozen legendary hits by Burt Bacharach arranged by long-time musical collaborator Ethan Iverson (open the spread for more details and tour dates). We will also bring back two quintessential works from our repertory: Pepperland and The Hard Nut.
THE HARD NUT “ You’ve never seen a ‘Nutcracker’ quite like this before.” – HuffPost “ Morris gives us one of the most wholly satisfying blizzards in the history of ‘Nutcrackers,’ mining the rich Tchaikovsky score for moments of rushing exhilaration and breathless cascades.” – San Francisco Chronicle Detroit Opera | Detroit, MI December 3 & 4, 2022 Photos front cover, this page, and center spread by Christopher Duggan; photos this page inset by Mat Hayward (top) and Robert Torres (bottom).
PEPPERLAND “A gorgeously entertaining and witty tribute to the classic Beatles album [Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band].” – The Guardian Performance Santa Fe | Lensic Performing Arts Center | Santa Fe, NM February 7, 2023 Hylton Performing Arts Center Merchant Hall | George Mason University | Manassas, VA February 11, 2023

Following the roaring success of his Beatles tribute Pepperland, Mark Morris teams up again with Ethan Iverson for The Look of Love, a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach. A towering figure of popular music, Bacharach is known for his soaring melodies and unique orchestrations influenced by jazz, rock, and Brazilian music — his lyricist Hal David providing unsentimental, poignant lyrics. This evening-length work features original choreography by Morris and new musical arrangements by Iverson, with Marcy Harriell on lead vocals.
