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.

The MIT Life on Stage Theater (LOST) fall production of the play Moonchildren, by Michael Weller. This play from the author of Split and Loose Ends explores the rootless 60's generation of free-love and protest. Five male college seniors and their housemates have no purpose in their lives. They march against the staus quo and taunt the "pigs". One feels genuine emotion at his mother's death from cancer, one romance dies and another is aborted. Ultimately, they realize their lives are as empty as the establishment they protest so vehemently against.Attendance free to all! Come see in Kresge Little Theater fromthe 16th to the 18th of October.
