Mark Morris Dance Group (USA) - L'Allegr il Penseroso ed Il Moderato

The Mark Morris Dance Group was formed in 1980 and gave its first concert in that year in New York. In the following years, the company s touring schedule has steadily expanded to include cities across America and Europe. Once considered the bad boy of the modern dance world, Mark Morris is now an influential and internationally celebrated choreographer whose pieces have become the standard of creativity for a new generation of dancers, choreographers and critics. When it premiered in 1988 L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato was instantly heralded as a landmark work. The musical landscape includes Handel's pastoral ode set to the poetry of John Milton. The set design includes inspiration from William Blake's later watercolours illustrating Milton's poems. Boasting 24 dancers, ENO's Orchestra and Chorus, and four vocal soloists, don't miss "one of the very greatest dances of the late 20th century" (Boston Herald) as it returns to London for the first time in ten years.
