Love, sorcery, and tragic opera…what better way to spend a Saturday evening? Join Panoramic Voices and LOLA (Local Opera Local Artists) for an encore presentation of our performance of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas—a stunningly beautiful 17th-century baroque masterpiece.

The first collaboration from two influential Austin art institutions, Dido and Aeneas fuses brilliant operatic talent, chorus, chamber orchestra, and choreography to depict the timeless tale of Dido, Queen of Carthage. Caught between her duty to marry the Trojan Prince Aeneas, solidifying the political power of Carthage, and the desires of her heart, her story is further complicated by an opposing and powerful sorceress.

In addition to streaming the show, Liz Cass (Executive Producer of LOLA) will lead a panel discussion by the creative team behind the show: musical director Brent Baldwin (Artistic Director of Panoramic Voices), stage director Rebecca Herman (Artistic Producer of LOLA) , and choreographer Erica Gionfriddo (co-founder of ARCOS Dance).
