A hasty but heartfelt recommendation for Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, Cambridge Youth Opera's first ever production, at St Mary's School (Bateman St) this evening 7:30 tickets £5.

Went last night with [livejournal.com profile] woolymonkey (mother of two chorus members) and was dead impressed: witty, gorgeously sung and beautifully choreographed by Jenny Bell (who is 15). Better than some professional productions I've seen: reminiscent of ENO productions with reimagined setting (Fifties teen movie) and plenty of humour.

Photos later unless monkeyboys have a whipround to raise preventative funds.

I do love Dido and Aeneas! (well, anything Purcell come to that) I can't come tonight, but will put Janet Baker on in the car going home.
