Dido & Aeneas

William Towers - countertenor, Eloise Irving and Hannah Fraser-Mackenzie, Sopranos
Dido & Aeneas
The incredible voices of William Towers countertenor, Eloise Irving and Hannah Fraser-Mackenzie, Sopranos, bring to life Pergolesi’s masterpiece, Stabat Mater. Demonstrating Baroque music at its finest, this provides a fitting partner to the excitement of Henry Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas.

Dido & Aeneas has become a work at the heart of the British musical heritage. In a highly emotionally charged and entertaining performance, the epic tragedy of a queen, a soldier and an illicit love is told through a rich array of music. Performed with minimal staging, Armonico Consort’s beautifully tender and entertaining rendition of this incredible opera has delighted audiences across Europe, earning spectacular five-star reviews from the national press.
