Approved

Rarely paired before, here are two early operas which changed the course of operatic history. Both end with two of the most adored arias ever written, frequent ‘guests’ on Desert Island Discs. The same two singers play the two principal roles Orpheus/Dido and Euridice/Belinda. The chorus are central players. The first of the two starts with a tragic death and ends happily. Dramatically, Dido and Aeneas is a mirror image.

We are proud to welcome back The Sixteen choir and orchestra with their founding director Harry Christophers after their triumphant Belshazzar at The Grange in 2019. Heather Lowe, scintillating as Cenerentola at The Grange in 2021, stars as Orfeo and Dido. We welcome the star British baritone James Newby as Aeneas. This is sure to be a hot ticket. The creative team of Danny Slater and Robert Innes Hopkins (Belshazzar and Tamerlano) together with movement director Tim Claydon (Belshazzar) return.
