STAGED PRODUCTION
Meredith Hall as DIDO
Sumner Thompson as AENEAS
APOLLO'S SINGERS
APOLLO'S MUSETTES

In honor of Purcell’s 350th birthday, Apollo’s Fire brings to life the celebrated gem of baroque opera. The tragic tale of Queen Dido of Carthage and her love for the Trojan hero Aeneas has moved and inspired audiences for centuries.

Apollo’s Fire’s previous production of this masterpiece (1998) won highest praise from THE PLAIN DEALER: “An exhilarating production . . . and a triumph, all around. Sorrell drew glowing colors from her crackerjack ensemble. Meredith Hall shaped Dido's lines with limpid beauty. She was Dido incarnate.”
