"Mark Morris Go Home," blared a recent headline in Brussels's
leading newspaper. Such indications of the American choreographer's
alienation of the Belgian audience and press during his first season
as resident choreographer of the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie preceded
Morris's return visit to the United States this month. So it was
that the only American performances of his evening-length "Dido and
Aeneas," given last week at the newly renovated Emerson Majestic
Theatre in Boston, drew not only crowds of Morris's American fans but
also curiosity-seekers intrigued by what had inspired the opprobrium
abroad.
