Thomas Tull Concert Hall, MIT Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 7:00pm Sunday, October 19, 2025 at 2:00pmErrollyn Wallen's Dido's Ghost (2021) resurrects a timeless tale, casting a haunting shadow on Virgil's epic. This chamber opera delves into the spectral aftermath of Dido's despair, exploring the lingering echoes of love and betrayal by setting the entirety of Purcell’s original Dido and Aneas as a dream sequence. Wallen's evocative new score bookends the Purcell revealing a new dimension to a familiar tragedy. Witness a powerful, intimate performance where ancient myth meets modern musicality, and the past speaks with a chilling, unforgettable voice. Emmanuel Music is delighted to continue our collaboration with choreographer Shura Baryshnikov and to work with director Rebecca Miller Kratzer.Join us for a talk back after the performance with Errollyn Wallen, Ryan Turner, and librettist Wesley Stace.Carley DeFranco, Anna/DidoDavid Thomas Mather, AeneasJonathan Woody, Elymas/SorceressKatherine Maysek, Lavinia/SpiritMorgan Mastrangelo, Ascanius/First SailorMara Riley, BelindaSonja Tengblad, Second WomanClaire Huchthausen, Ananeah Nevil, WitchesWesley Stace, LibrettistRebecca Miller Kratzer, DirectorShura Baryshnikov, ChoreographerThe Orchestra and Chorus of Emmanuel Music in collaboration with the MIT Chamber Chorus, conducted by Ryan Turner.This production will run approximately 95 minutes with no intermission and will include English supertitles.
