Opera Company of Middlebury presents a staged concert version of Henry Purcell's DIDO AND AENEAS, the oldest English opera, and only significant opera from England until Benjamin Britten's work in the 1940s. Dating from 1689, this tragic love story, set in the time of the Trojan War, is in a variety of musical styles and displays a freshness and verve that still resonate today. OCM has invited back to Middlebury some of its favorite professional singers from the past 11 seasons, supported by the Middlebury College Choir. Director: Douglas Anderson. Conductor: Dr. Jeffrey Buettner. Pre-performance talk 45 minutes prior to curtain at Memorial Baptist Church. Q&A session with the cast following performances. Champagne reception after opening night performance.
