Jackson joins Berkshire Bach in the role of Belinda for a concerted presentation of Henry Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas, led by BBS choral director James Bagwell. Come hear the classic story of love and abandonment from Virgil’s Aeneid, written over 2,000 years ago, brought to life by English composer Henry Purcell. The work has some of Purcell’s most beautiful and affecting vocal music, including Dido’s famous lament, When I am laid in Earth, that has been used to express grief and loss in public commemorations, theatre works, and film for over 300 years.
