SPOTLIGHT: Take This Waltz

Celebrating the Music of Leonard Cohen

Wed Oct 29, 20257:30pm

CANADIAN OPERA & DANCE

Take this Waltz: Celebrating the Music of Leonard Cohen is an operatic and contemporary dance performance, inspired by the music of the Canadian legend Leonard Cohen.

Daniel Okulitch - one of Canada’s most celebrated operatic voices - is joined onstage by a classical chamber ensemble composed of Violin/Viola, Cello, and Accordion; along with, dancer/musician Ted Littlemore, an artist of many talents who plays the accordion while dancing.

“Take this Waltz” aims to broaden the idea of how vocalism, contemporary dance, instrumentation, and the visual arts can be applied to well-established works, without diluting their unique qualities.

World premiere on September 10th, 2022 and sold out run as a co-presentation between Vancouver Opera, Pacific Opera Victoria and Chutzpah! Festival.

Director & Choreographer: Idan Cohen
Soloist: Daniel Okulitch
Dancer/musician: Ted Littlemore
Scenic Design: Amir Ofek
Lighting Design: Itai Erdal
Music arrangements: Adrian Dolan
Production: Jason Dubois/New Works
