Dido and Aeneas:
One Week Until Dido and Aeneas!
Today we share some candid rehearsal pictures of our Dido and Aeneas! See principals Tahanee Aluwihare, Luke Scott and Camila Parias, as well as our terrific band, all hard at work in Pickman Hall at Longy School of Music of Bard College.
Behind the Scenes:
Orchestra Edition
Dr. John McKean, our all important harpsichordist for our Dido production, provides some perspective on Dido’s famous lament “When I am laid in earth.”
Happy Halloween from the Boston Camerata!
This week, at the height of spooky season, we focus on the malefic part of Dido and Aeneas, with thoughts from Prof. Ellen T. Harris and two Sorcerers, as well as instrumental music for the Witches from our opera.
We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!
Filming Begins for Dido and Aeneas
Earlier this week we spent a gorgeous day filming some images that will be part of Dido and Aeneas: An Opera for Distanced Lovers, which is coming very soon! The Camerata soloists were joined by a group of students from Longy School of Music of Bard College, several of whom are singing supporting roles in the opera.
