Gabrieli Roar: Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas with DRET

*From the organisers (correct at the time of publishing), please see the organiser’s website for the latest details.

In collaboration with The David Ross Foundation, Gabrieli Roar present Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas. To perform this Trojan story of love and betrayal, royal duty and warfare, 120 secondary school students from the David Ross Educational Trust will be joined by Gabrieli’s world-class professional musicians, with mezzo-soprano Bethany Horak-Hallett in the title role and conducted by Paul McCreesh.

This project is part of Roar Evolve, a programme designed to engage young people who already have some experience of singing, giving them the chance to sing side-by-side with professional musicians, an orchestra and world-class soloists.
