Following the sell-out season of Orpheus & Eurydice in OA’s 2024 season, director Yaron Lifschitz merges jaw-dropping acrobatics and sublime music again with this production of Dido & Aeneas, presented in association with Circa.
One of the most significant operas written in English, Purcell’s poignant Baroque score laid the foundations for all that would follow.
Combining exhilarating physicality and an Australian cast featuring Anna Dowsley making a welcome return to OA as Dido and Sorceress, Jane Ede as Belinda and tenor Nicholas Jones as Aeneas, this is Dido & Aeneas for the 21st century.
