Mark Morris is funny but serious; Haydn is funny but serious. So the New York premiere of a Mark Morris piece to Haydn is a big big deal. Especially when the piece sets Haydn's great Symphony No. 88 "The Letter V", an otherwise cheerful work whose slow movement is one of the most deeply beautiful things Your Compiler has ever heard. Also, the New York premiere of Justin Peck's new tribute to classical ballet (set to Sufjan Stevens — but nothing is perfect). And something by the endlessly enjoyable Azsure Barton.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: It is very difficult not to send you to Benoit for freshly reinterpreted bistro.
