Choir Vocalconsort Berlin & Orchestra Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Attilio Cremonesi (Conductor and Adaptation) Henry Purcell’s opera Dido & Aeneas, completed in 1689, was the subject of a
memorable and breathtaking performance at the Staatsoper Berlin in 2005.
In Dido & Aeneas Sasha Waltz opens up new horizons in music theatre, creating
a fusion of dance, singing and music – the choreographic opera. The (extended,
revised) libretto, the (reconstructed) music, vocal parts, dance, the stage set
– featuring a rousing underwater ballet – combine to form a sublime total
choreography and parallel action involving dancers, singers and musicians.
In this choreographic opera, Sasha Waltz demonstrates not only her familiarity
with Emile Jaques-Dalcroze and Pina Bausch, but also the confi dence she has
in her own style. Sensational! “One of the Theatrical Experiences of the Century.” (Kurt Koegler, tanznetz.de) |
