Victoria Chorale | Dido and Aeneas
2 September 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm AEST
$20 – $60
Victoria Chorale presents two wonderful pieces of music with the Art of Sound Orchestra and conductor Mario Dobernig.
A lively semi-staged performance of Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas
This marvellous work tells the story of Dido, the Queen of Carthage, and her ill-fated love encounter with the Trojan Prince Aeneas.
Victoria Chorale plus 9 superb soloists will capture the fun of rowdy sailors and caustic witches alongside the stirring emotions of a tragic love story. Purcell’s evocative work culminates in one of opera’s great moments as Dido (Sally-Anne Russell) hauntingly sings ‘Remember me’.
Vivaldi’s Magnificat
The superb Magnificat in G minor by Vivaldi conveys a majestic sense of awe and drama. This work is truly a gem.
