Reviews
L'allegro is an acknowledged masterpiece of modern dance. In creating this monumental work (32 dances performed in two hours by 24 dancers), Morris used Handel's oratorio, which has a libretto based on the poetry of Milton, and the paintings of Blake. This book is intended to commemorate this great work of art, which has never been captured on film or video in its entirety. Here in full-color single- and double-page spreads, 17 noted photographers offer intriguing glimpses of the details of the dance, their photographs accompanied by related excerpts from the libretto. Page after page is filled with wonderful images of dancers in mid-flight, at rest, in circles, in lines, and in pairs, upstage and down. Complete lists of the performances and dancers who took part are included, and a selected bibliography is appended. The text, primarily excerpts from writing about the work and comments from Morris and his dancers, includes three full-length essays by Joan Acocella, Wendy Lesser, and Alastair Macaulay. This book honors one of the leading lights in the modern dance firmament. As the editors of this lavish book proclaim in its introduction, "Milton created, Handel elaborated, Blake illustrated and Mark Morris came along and made something that was greater than the sum of its parts." Recommended for all dance and performing arts collections. Carolyn M. Mulac, Chicago P.L.
