What would Hallelujah sound like if it were performed as an opera with a chamber orchestra?

One contemporary dancer. One soaring baritone. A live chamber orchestra. Together, they honour and reinvent Cohen’s most iconic songs: Hallelujah, Dance Me to the End of Love, Everybody Knows, and more. Each is given a theatrical and musical weight that feels earned.

Take This Waltz is an operatic and contemporary dance performance inspired by the music of Canada’s most beloved poet-songwriter, Leonard Cohen.

Cohen himself was a man of contradictions: monk and lover, pessimist and mystic, poet and pop star. Take This Waltz honours all of it.

Choreographer and Artistic Director of Vancouver's Ne. Sans Opera & Dance, Idan Cohen brings his creative vision to this production. His work has earned international acclaim for its emotional power and artistic ambition.
