The dido performance is a diptych that includes Michael Nyman's opera "DIDO. Prologue", as well as one of the masterpieces of the Baroque - Henry Purcell's opera "Dido and Aeneas".

Composer, musicologist, artist, conductor, photographer, documentary filmmaker, founder of his own group Campiello Band (now - Michael Nyman Band), Commander of the Order of the British Empire (2008), laureate and nominee of the British, American, Australian Film Academy Awards, Awards of the International Catalan Film Festival, Golden Globe and others, Michael Nyman (b. 1944) is an iconic figure of contemporary art. One of the classics of minimalism, Nyman gained worldwide fame at the turn
of the 1970s - 1980s thanks to a collaboration with film director Peter Greenaway. Among the most famous Greenaway soundtracks are "The Draftsman's Contract" (1982), "Countdown of the Drowned" (1988), "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover" (1989), "Prospero's Books" (1991). In total, Naiman owns about 50 film cartridges; among them are films by Michael Winterbottom, Neil Jordan, Jane Campion.

In Nyman's work, academic and applied music, intertwined, create a single stylistic field. Naiman is known as the author of symphonic, chamber, concert works, ballets, operas.

Michael Nyman is the author of the famous book "Experimental Music: John Cage and After Him" (1974), the discoverer of the term "minimalism" itself, denoting the most important direction in the music of the second half of the XX century.

The idea of creating the opera "DIDO. Prologue" belongs to the Russian director, founder and artistic director of the Small World Theater Natalia Anastasieva-Liner.
The premiere of the concert version of the opera "DIDO. Prologue" was held in 2012 in Perm. As part of the DIDO project at the Novaya Opera, Naiman's work is staged on the stage for the first time.

Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas was consulted twice by the Novaya Opera. In 1999, it was performed in concert in the Mirror Foyer, and in 2013 it was performed by the soloists of the Novaya Opera, the choir of students of the Perm Music College and the orchestra of the Perm State Academy of Art and Culture. The production was decided as a one-act opera-ballet. The concert version was directed by Natalia Anastasieva-Liner, and the musical director in both cases was Dmitry Volosnikov. It is quite natural that it was he who became the conductor-director of the DIDO project.

The production designer of the performance is an outstanding Russian master, multiple winner of the Russian National Theater Award "Golden Mask" Yuri Kharikov.
