Event information

Dido and Aeneas

by Henry Purcell

Step into the world of Dido and Aeneas, Henry Purcell’s celebrated masterpiece, brought to life in the intimate setting of Guildhall School’s Milton Court Theatre. 

One of the earliest and most enduring English operas, it remains a poignant exploration of destiny, sacrifice and the destructive force of the gods.

Set in a strange realm where beauty and brutality collide, this powerful production directed by Oliver Platt and conducted by James Henshaw delves deep into the heart of Purcell’s spellbinding music, uncovering the mysticism and raw emotion of this timeless tale of love and loss that has captivated audiences for centuries.

Performed in English
