A scene from L'Allegro. I try to attend at least one Luminato event every year. And this year (on Friday night, to be precise) I took in L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato, performed by New York’s Mark Morris Dance Group and Toronto’s Tafelmusik.
For the benefit of any out-of-towners reading these words, Luminato is a seven-year-old Toronto-based festival held annually in the month of June. It’s made a name for itself as a gathering together of new trends in the performing arts from around the world. But it also has its critics. There are those who feel that the ten-day multimillion dollar extravaganza pays too little attention to Toronto’s local artists.
