ZHdK is presenting Henry Purcell’s three-act opera “Dido and Aeneas” in five performances at the ZKO-Haus. It tells the story of the blossoming and fading of a passionate love. The music traverses the entire spectrum of human emotions and entanglements. A showpiece for the young vocal and instrumental students of the ZHdK and Benoît Hartoin, who guides the musicians through the multi-layered work from the harpsichord.

The role of Dido was very challenging for me. The team gave me great support, encouraged me and laughed with me. I hope that ZHdK will continue to put on operas!
