Programme
Overview
Step into 17th-century London with Vox Luminis and conductor Lionel Meunier in a thrilling revival of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. Experience the raw emotion of Dido’s final lament and the solemn beauty of Purcell’s memorial works for Queen Mary II.Step into the glittering world of late 17th-century London as Vox Luminis and conductor Lionel Meunier resurrect the sumptuous grandeur of Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. Originally crafted for the royal court and later performed at Josias Priest’s school for girls in the 1680s, this landmark opera unfolds through richly woven vocal lines that build to the heartrending intensity of Dido’s final lament. The evening continues with Purcell’s poignant memorial anthems for Queen Mary II, alongside select treasures from the ensemble’s acclaimed baroque repertoire, combining solemn beauty with regal elegance. Join us for an evocative journey into one of the 17th century’s greatest musical dramas, where courtly splendor meets profound emotional depth.
