Mark Morris Dance Group at The Music Center

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Mark Morris Dance Group performs L'ALLEGRO, IL PENSEROSO ED IL MODERATO, which features 24 dancers, the LA Opera Orchestra and Chorus as well as a quartet of world-class singers: sopranos Hei-Kyung Hong and Sarah Coburn, tenor Barry Banks and bass-baritone John Relyea. With Handel's pastoral ode as the musical landscape, and set to the poetry of John Milton*, along with sets inspired by William Blake's later watercolors, L'ALLEGRO is a true artistic feat sure to captivate Music Center audiences. Morris' landmark work is presented as part of the first-ever collaboration between the Music Center and LA Opera.

*Sung in English and performed without supertitles
