by Reynard Loki
- Nov 20, 2008
'The Dido Project' takes Henry Purcell's legendary English opera, Dido and 'neas, to new heights by setting it in our current, high-tech, information-driven world. Through a combination of video projections, audio recording and live performance, we will witness Dido's actions and glimpse her inner thoughts and feelings on her journey from untouchable power to absolute ruin. Led by theatre and opera director Pat Diamond, 'The Dido Project' features the creative talents of some of the most original artists in music and theatre today, including the renowned Sybarite Chamber Players and rising opera stars David Adam Moore and Blythe Gaissert. This will be a rare opportunity to see a project of high musical and visual quality as a free, public installation. By bringing together music, visual art, theatre and technology, 'The Dido Project' will carry the beauty, humanity, and emotion of Purcell's opera into the twenty-first Century and make it accessible and relevant to today's audiences.
