The ArtEZ String Ensemble and the Vocal Class of the ArtEZ Conservatory in Zwolle, together with students from the Composition for Film and Theatre program in Arnhem, present a fresh take on Dido & Aeneas by Henry Purcell – a true Baroque classic and the very first English opera. In addition to Purcell’s masterpiece, you’ll also hear new compositions by students from Arnhem and Zwolle, inspired by the style of Dido & Aeneas.

The performance is brought to life by Bachelor’s and Master’s students from the ArtEZ Conservatory, under the direction of Sarah Kapustin, Claudia Patacca, and Klaas Stok. Let yourself be carried away by this unique musical encounter between old and new!
