Henry Purcell: Dido and Aeneas

At the opening of the International Baroque Days at Melk Abbey, antiquity moved into the abbey church. With Purcell's ›Dido and Aeneas‹, his brilliant opera and at the same time one of the central works in music history, the festival takes on the love and suffering of a couple who are only granted happiness together for a brief moment. The fate of the lovers finally leads to one of the most poignant moments ever composed. The Concentus Musicus Wien under its conductor Stefan Gottfried and a squad of outstanding singers make the evening an unforgettable experience. The vocal ensemble Nrebew Consort will be on the podium of the collegiate church for the first time as part of a forward-looking collaboration with the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
