A cascade of wit and wintry beauty featuring Mark’s lyrical choreography, this lavish, gender-bent love letter to a classic ballet transplants the story from the strait-laced 1890s to the swinging 70s, with raucous parties, dancing G.I. Joes, whimsical costumes, and a “Waltz of the Snowflakes” like no other. Tchaikovsky’s complete score, performed live by the MMDG Music Ensemble, drives this colorful retelling, which playfully preserves the warm spirit of an essential holiday tradition.
“Fun and amazement dance in the same steps; the choreography lifts the whole audience through a crescendo of changing emotions.”
—The New York Times

Mark Morris: Music I Want You To Hear

The summer is a great to time to take time off, wind down, and pick up a good book or “really” listen to music. That’s where Mark’s Big Idea Music playlist comes in. The music on this list is big, profound, and transportive. “I love it all,” says Mark. “I suggest listening to the individual works straight through. No shuffle please.”

Happy listening.
