Par la fen\u00eatre de son palais de Carthage, Didon aper\u00e7oit les collines couvertes d\u2019oliviers descendant vers le port o\u00f9 scintillent les proues des navires ph\u00e9niciens. Abandonn\u00e9e par \u00c9n\u00e9e, elle entonne un d\u00e9chirant lamento qui continue de faire fr\u00e9mir plus de 300 ans apr\u00e8s la naissance de l\u2019op\u00e9ra de Purcell. Celui-ci est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans une version concert aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s d\u2019une autre trag\u00e9die, Act\u00e9on de Charpentier. Offrant un miroir fascinant entre la France et l\u2019Angleterre baroques, ce programme r\u00e9unit deux joyaux du th\u00e9\u00e2tre musical du XVII\u1d49 si\u00e8cle sous la direction d\u2019Andrew McAnerney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the window of her palace in Carthage, Dido sees the hills covered with olive trees sloping down to the harbour, where the prows of Phoenician ships glint in the sunlight. Abandoned by Aeneas, she sings a heartrending lament that continues to move audiences more than 300 years after Purcell\u2019s opera was born. It is presented here in a concert version alongside another tragedy, Charpentier\u2019s Act\u00e9on. Offering a fascinating reflection between Baroque France and England, this program brings together two jewels of 17th-century musical theatre under the direction of Andrew McAnerney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
