Relieve the June 2018 award-winning performance of Henry Purcell's English opera Dido & Aeneas with the second live screening premiere of the San Francisco Girls Chorus's 2020 Virtual Festival, in collaboration with Voices of Music and the San Francisco Early Music Society.
In the San Francisco Classical Voice 2017-2018 “Best of the Bay” awards, these performances took top honors in three categories with SFCV’s Michael Zwiebach writing: “To have Dido and Aeneas not just revived but revivified in a way that gets closer to the opera’s original sound was special and encapsulates what the early music performer is supposed to do —confront tradition in order to show us something new.”
This free virtual event will be hosted live on the Voices of Music YouTube channel.
