Opera San Jos will make its much-anticipated return to the historic California Theatre with a new production of Purcells baroque masterpiece, "Dido and Aeneas." Conducted by OSJs Music Director Joseph Marcheso and directed by Elkhanah Pulitzer, with choreography by Michael Pappalardo, this celebrated work offers brilliant, soaring, richly nuanced arias. This opera tells the story of Dido, the Queen of Carthage who, having foresworn romantic love, is tormented by the Trojan hero, Aeneas, who is desperate for her affections. But as their love is kindled, a powerful sorcerer plots the queens downfall. Through deceit, trickery, and the conjuring of a raging storm, Dido is ripped from Aeneas, culminating in one of operas greatest tragedies. Casting includes accomplished mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz as Dido, celebrated baritone Efran Sols as Aeneas, lauded soprano Maya Kherani as Belinda, multi-award-winning bass-baritone Nathan Stark as the Sorcerer, and dancers from San Jos Dance Theatre. "Dido and Aeneas" will be sung in English, with English supertitles.In accordance with current city and county mandates, the California Theatre will require proof of full vaccination with a valid photo ID to attend any performance.
