An evening-length work of poetry, music and image based on Leonard's book of 2006.

Humorous self parody, romantic longing, spiritual striving - a sampling of Cohen's poems that touch on romance, biography, balladry, the dharma, limericks and rhymes.

"I wanted the experience of listening to the piece to be similar to what happens when you look through a book of poems but you don't look at it sequentially," he says. "It's a random kind of thing but in the course of time you actually encounter all the different aspects of the piece."

Cohen was once asked, “is the music cabaret, theatrical, or classical?”

He responded “Glassical.”
This multi-dimensional performance combines poetry, music, images and text in a complex and intoxicating meeting of two musical icons: Leonard Cohen and Philip Glass.

​

Composed by Philip Glass and adapted from Cohen’s 2006 poetry collection Book of Longing, this genre-defying work stars Richard Piper (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) and features four singers, ensemble, eight instrumentalists and imagery. Described as "part-song-cycle, part cabaret, part-installation" Book of Longing is a work that explores romance, biography, balladry, the dharma, limericks and rhymes.

​

Glass is the long-reigning emperor of modern classical music. Cohen spent his career melding pop, folk and Euro-cabaret with his existential-meets-erotic confessional style. Here, they summon the best in each other with a work of feverish passion and wily humour, full of spiritual striving, romantic yearning and witty self parody.
