Loading ...Mark Morris Dance Group @ Birmingham Hippodrome - Description
World-renowned choreographer Mark Morris returns to the UK to present his brilliant and majestic piece set to Handel’s Pastoral Ode and the poetry of John Milton. Part of International Dance Festival Birmingham 2010.
Described by The Washington Post as America’s “Mozart of modern danceâ€, Mark Morris has changed the way audiences see dance forever. The world-renowned choreographer returns to the UK to present his brilliant and majestic L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato.
When it premiered in 1988, it was instantly heralded as a landmark work. The musical landscape is Handel’s pastoral ode, set to the poetry of John Milton, whilst the sets are inspired by William Blake’s later watercolours illustrating Milton’s text.
Boasting twenty-four dancers, English National Opera’s Orchestra and Chorus under conductor Jane Glover, and an outstanding quartet of soloists including Mark Padmore and Elizabeth Watts, don’t miss “one of the very greatest dances of the late 20th century†(Boston Herald).
