On precious few occasions in each generation, a piece of art appears and is instantly recognized as a work for the ages, a consummate statement with the power to transform the way we see the world around us. Such a landmark is Mark Morris's brilliant and majestic L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato (1988). Set to Handel's oratorio of the same name and boasting 24 dancers, a full orchestra and chorus, and four vocal soloists, "one of the very greatest dances of the late 20th century" (Boston Herald) returns to Cal Performances by overwhelming popular demand.
