This evening of music, dance, and stunning visuals, staged by Israeli choreographer and director Idan Cohen of Ne. Sans Opera & Dance, celebrates the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. Performers featured are world-renowned Canadian bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch, described as “flat-out brilliant” by Opera News, the multi-talented dancer/musician Ted Littlemore, and a classical chamber ensemble of violin, accordion and cello.
This piece was developed through an artistic residency at the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre.
We are grateful for the generous support of the Bierbrier Family, who have made this presentation possible in loving memory of Len Bierbrier.
Take This Waltz was created by Ne.Sans Opera & Dance, with support from Chutzpah! Festival, Pacific Opera Victoria, and Vancouver Opera.
