L’Allegro

Last night, prior to attending my fifteenth or twentieth performance of Mark Morris’s L’Allegro, Il Penseroso, ed Il Moderato (now playing at BAM, where I first saw it over 30 years ago), I had a small dinner and a lovely drink — pictured here — at the bar of a Brooklyn Turkish restaurant. All in all, a happiness-inducing evening, especially since this work by Morris is my favorite dance of all time. And on Sunday I will get to see it again — minus the drink this time, since it will be a matinee, but still an occasion for joy.
