Le chef-d’œuvre absolu de Purcell
Composé vers 1689, Dido and Æneas de Henry Purcell demeure l’un des sommets du théâtre musical baroque. En moins d’une heure, le compositeur anglais déploie une tragédie d’une intensité déchirante, où chaque note porte le poids du destin. 
L’histoire d’un amour impossible 
Didon, reine de Carthage, accueille le prince troyen Énée après la chute de Troie. Leur amour naissant est brisé par l’intervention de forces maléfiques qui convainquent Énée de poursuivre sa destinée vers l’Italie. Abandonnée, Didon choisit la mort plutôt que de vivre sans son amour. 
Le lamento : un sommet d’émotion 
Le lamento final, « When I am laid in earth », compte parmi les pages les plus bouleversantes de toute l’histoire de la musique. Sur une basse obstinée descendante, Didon fait ses adieux à la vie avec une dignité tragique qui émeut depuis plus de trois siècles. Ema Nikolovska incarne cette reine déchue, soutenue par Tyler Duncan dans le rôle d’Énée et Magali Simard-Galdès en Belinda, la confidente.
Purcell et le monde mythologique 
Trois extraits de The Indian Queen forment un prologue qui situe l’action dans un monde mythologique. Bernard Labadie dirige La Chapelle de Québec et Les Violons du Roy dans cette production qui réunit les forces vocales et instrumentales pour donner vie à l’une des plus grandes tragédies lyriques du répertoire baroque. 

Purcell’s absolute masterpiece
Composed around 1689, Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas remains one of the pinnacles of Baroque musical theater. In less than an hour, the English composer unfolds a tragedy of heartbreaking intensity, where every note carries the weight of destiny.
The story of an impossible love
Dido, Queen of Carthage, welcomes the Trojan prince Aeneas after the fall of Troy. Their budding love is shattered by the intervention of evil forces who convince Aeneas to pursue his destiny in Italy. Abandoned, Dido chooses death rather than life without her love.
The lament: a peak of emotion
The final lament, “When I am laid in earth,” is one of the most moving pieces in the entire history of music. Over a descending bass line, Dido bids farewell to life with a tragic dignity that has moved audiences for more than three centuries. Ema Nikolovska embodies the fallen queen, supported by Tyler Duncan as Aeneas and Magali Simard-Galdès as Belinda, her confidante.
Purcell and the mythological world
Three excerpts from The Indian Queen form a prologue that sets the action in a mythological world. Bernard Labadie conducts La Chapelle de Québec and Les Violons du Roy in this production, which brings together vocal and instrumental forces to bring to life one of the greatest lyrical tragedies in the Baroque repertoire.
