LAFAYETTE AVENUE — The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) will offer the New York premiere of a wildly popular collaboration of the dance of Mark Morris with the music of Burt Bacharach. Mark Morris teams up again with musical collaborator Ethan Iverson for “The Look of Love,” a wistful and heartfelt homage to the chart-topping songs of Burt Bacharach which premiered to acclaim in 2022 at the Kennedy Center.
Brooklyn residents will have about a month before the March 20 opening to get their tickets to this event.

A towering figure of popular music, Bacharach is known for his soaring melodies and unique orchestrations influenced by jazz, rock, and Brazilian music — his longtime lyricist Hal David provided unsentimental, poignant lyrics.
