Next weekend's three-night Bodhi Tree Concerts production at Bread & Salt teases out the wackiness of Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas,' even incorporating some heavy-metal music
Victoria Mature spent her teenage years, as many of us do, playing music that drove her parents a little crazy. Her father Victor, the late hunky movie star of the 1940s and ’50s, would plead for something upbeat while her mother Lorey would say: “Not that again!”
Her enthusiasm for the ancient opera is shared by the production’s stage director, Vanessa Dinning, who also loved “Dido’s Lament,” as a teenager. In fact, the discovery was a bonding moment when the two met in 2007. The Bodhi Tree cast includes Evan White as Aeneas and Katherine Polit as Dido’s confidante, Belinda. Brendan Nguyen is the music director-conductor and Michael Mizerany the choreographer.
“I’m thrilled to get to work with this great cast and crew. The production’s a fascinating mix of baroque and contemporary music,” Mature said. “I hadn’t seen many of his movies on the big screen,” she said. “The theater was full of people laughing and gasping. I was amazed.”
