Dido and Aeneas Purcell

Public

Approved

Love is invincible. Destiny is inevitable.

Heartbeat's production manifests the magic and the mischief of Purcell's sublime score. By mingling the five singers (who also comprise the chorus) and six instrumentalists on stage with some of the audience, we make this Dido visceral and contemporary. Spurred on by three evil spirits, the queen has no choice but to embrace her love and her destiny.
