The tragic story of the doomed love of the Queen of Carthage for the Trojan prince comes to Colyer-Fergusson Hall this Friday, in a performance featuring student and staff musicians in the University Cecilian Choir, String Sinfonia and soloists.

The role of Dido will be sung by postgraduate Law student and Music Performance Scholar, Helen Sotillo, and the semi-staged hour-long performance of Purcell’s enduringly-popular chamber opera will be prefaced by live music on the foyer-stage and costumed courtiers presiding over the foyer from 6.30pm as the audience arrives.

Tickets are £10 full price and £5 for students; join the Music Department and musicians from across the University as the curtain rises this Friday at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased online.
