San Francisco Classical Voice: Mark Morris and Silk Road Delight with Layla and Majnun

Layla and Majnun, choreographer Mark Morris’s 13th work to have its world premiere at Cal Performances, is a delight. The piece, slightly over an hour long, combines — with concision, precision, heart and brio — all the qualities that are best in Morris’ aesthetic.

This classic tale...gives us a new lens through which to delight in a superb dance maker, with a company to match.
