Dido & Aeneas: Teatro dell'Opera
About the Event
Follow in the steps of Aeneas as he journeys from the ruins of Troy to Carthage, before continuing on to become the first hero of Rome.
Legendary tales require equally legendary artists — in this case Sasha Waltz and the early opera specialist Christopher Moulds, who combine forces to create a multi‐disciplinary interpretation of Purcell's enduring opera. Berlin's renowned Akademie für Alte Musik and Vocalconsort, and Waltz' own dance company provide musicians and cast for this epic tale of love in the face of destiny.
Sung in English, with English and Italian surtitles.
