Rebecca Blanz - Dido and Aeneas

Great love seems within reach: Dido loves Aeneas and Aeneas is also courting Dido. However, she is plagued by dark forebodings. Only hesitantly she begins to believe in her luck. And indeed fate soon drives Aeneas away from her. Henry Purcell's highly emotional, colorful and contrasting score condenses the play of affects into a grand opera in a small space. With his one-hour work, Purcell created a new, English-language opera around 1680 that brought together influences from Italy and France and whose tradition has continued to this day. Under the musical direction of David Parry and directed by Cordula Däuper, the drama about Dido and Aeneas transforms the Alte Schildkrötfabrik into a place of fantasy and dark vision.

Die große Liebe scheint in greifbarer Nähe: Dido liebt Aeneas und auch Aeneas wirbt um Dido. Sie jedoch ist geplagt von düsteren Vorahnungen. Nur zögerlich beginnt sie, an ihr Glück zu glauben. Und tatsächlich treibt schon bald das Schicksal Aeneas von ihr fort. Henry Purcells hochemotionale, farben- und kontrastreiche Partitur verdichtet das Spiel der Affekte zur großen Oper auf kleinem Raum. Mit seinem gut einstündigen Werk kreiert Purcell um 1680 eine neuartige, englischsprachige Oper, die Einflüsse aus Italien und Frankreich zusammenführt und deren Tradition bis in die Gegenwart fortwirkt. Unter der musikalischen Leitung von David Parry und in der Regie von Cordula Däuper verwandelt das Drama um Dido und Aeneas die Alte Schildkrötfabrik in einen Ort der Phantasie und dunklen Vision.
