Nicholas McGegan, conductor Choreography: Mark Morris Music: Handel
Set Design: Adrianne Lobel Costume Design: Christine van Loon Lighting
Design: James F. Ingalls If there is a single work that secured Mark
Morris's place as one of the most important artists of his generation,
it is his luminous masterpiece L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato,
set to the Handel oratorio of the same name. Morris's epic, sublime
creation returns to Cal Performances for the fifth time since it
premiered in 1988, realized by a cast of 24 dancers, and the
Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorus. "I find no end to the
intricacies of Mr. Morris's construction, and the meanings that
continually pour from them. It fills the soul with wonder; it
fascinates the mind with suggestion" (The New York Times).
