Finale
OK, there is one engagement remaining: 5 performances by the Mark Morris Dance Group and the orchestra and chorus of Emmanuel Music of Mark Morris' masterful take on Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" running from May 28 to June 1 at Boston's Cutler Majestic Theatre. Mark Morris, the choreographer and founder of the Mark Morris Dance Group (I'm going slowly for the newbys) will conduct the musicians (you heard me, he will conduct). Trust me (ok, humor me), you don't want to miss it.
