The culmination of an inspirational week of music-making and rehearsals, involving professionals, students and amateur musicians, the opera will be sung in its original English libretto and accompanied by MWO’s OpenStages orchestra.
The tragic tale of the love between Dido, Queen of Carthage and Aeneas, destroyed by the malevolent interference of a sorceress and her spirits, plays out in spell-binding songs and stirring and moving choruses, leading inevitably to Dido’s heart-aching final lament.
