The New Opera Presents Performance 'Dido and Aeneas'
10:06AM / Friday, May 22, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The New Opera will present a concert performance of Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" on Friday, May 29, at 8 p.m. in Chapin Hall on the Williams College.
Vocal soloists will be joined by the Aoede Consort, and conductor/harpsichordist Dan Foster will lead an ensemble of baroque instrumentalists.
The New Opera, based in Williamstown, was founded in spring 2003 by Keith Kibler and Richard Giarusso. The company has presented successful concert performances of excerpts from Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro," "Don Giovanni" and "Cosi fan tutte," and highlights from Puccini's "La Boheme" and Richard Strauss’ "Der Rosenkavalier."
Featured soloists in "Dido and Aeneas" will be Vivien Shotwell, a regional finalist in the 2009 Metropolitan Opera contest, Woodrow Bynum, Erin Casey, and Keith Kibler. Tickets for the performance will be available at the door: $15 for adults, students admitted free. For more information: www.thenewopera.org or 413-458-2684.
