I have never seen a fully staged production of Dido and Aeneas, and I was looking forward to this. This preview almost looks like a concert production combined with a ballet, rather than an opera with the singers fully performing their roles. I am not hopeful about it, but I will strive to keep an open mind. 🤔
This is extremely distracting, silly, and pretentious. Sometimes, less is more, and stillness is movement. Please don't smear chocolate on my face and tell me it will taste better because it's a new way of eating chocolate. Two thumbs down.
The last production was completely out of character, with its story changed for the worse. Now this one seems to have no staging. It's not even trying to be theater! What's your problem with good stories well told?
Grazie per i video

Purcell was recently voted the third greatest English composer - after Britten and Elgar.

Love your chocolate analogy!
