First presented in 1988, the Mark Morris Dance Group’s legendary L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato is set to the majestic Handel oratorio and Milton’s poetry with luminous stage design inspired by William Blake’s paintings. Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the great dance works of the twentieth century,” L’Allegro remains the company’s crowning achievement. The evening boasts an exquisite cast of 24 dancers, four vocal soloists and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir.

Joni: A Portrait in Song - A Birthday Happening Live at Massey Hall
An all-star musical celebration of Joni Mitchell
World Premiere, presented at Massey Hall
Tuesday, June 18 / 7:30 PM
Wednesday, June 19 / 7:30 PM
It was the age of Cohen and King, Dylan and rhymin’ Simon. But among the singer-songwriter icons that emerged in the 1960s, none remains more influential, or more beloved, than Joni Mitchell. To celebrate both her 70th birthday and the brilliance of her genre-blurring artistry, Luminato brings together an all-star lineup of musicians and vocalists, including Rufus Wainwright, Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Glen Hansard and Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, interpreting the songs that shaped a generation and will continue to be shared, and felt, for generations to come.
“She is in possession of one of the most extraordinary song catalogs of the past half-century.” —The New York Times

As interpreted by Guo Wenjing, one of China’s most respected contemporary composers, and director Atom Egoyan, the gem-like, short opera Feng Yi Ting explores the epic tale of Diao Chan (soprano Shen Tiemei), one of the fabled Four Beauties of ancient China, whose seductive charms ignite an empire-threatening rivalry between a ruthless warlord and the brave General Lu Bu (countertenor Jiang Qihu).
(Sung in Mandarin Chinese with English and Mandarin surtitles)
