Synopsis
Join Opera Lyrica for our latest production - a double bill of John Blow's Venus and Adonis and Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. We'll be doing a whistle-stop tour of London, Oxford, Hampshire and Wiltshire during the second week of February:

15th - Church of St Peter and the Holy Cross, Wherwell, Hampshire
16th - Holywell Music Room, Oxford
17th - St Paul's Church, Covent Garden
20th - St Wilfrid's Hall, Brompton Oratory, Knighstbridge
21st - All Saints' Church, Farley, Wiltshire


Two of the most celebrated doomed couples in opera come together for an evening of baroque love and loss. A stellar cast of young talent accompanied by a small period ensemble makes for an evening not to be missed.
Venus - Belinda Evans
Adonis - Chris Webb
Dido - Esther Brazil
Aeneas - Christopher Diffey
Belinda - Anna Goodhew
Cupid - James Hall
Sorceror - Jack Lawrence-Jones
Sailor - Guy Withers
This production will be in the original English with a libretto in the programme.
