Revered American soprano Dawn Upshaw and the unparalleled Brentano String Quartet come together for a new performance project. Sparked by the famous "Dido’s Lament” from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, Dido Reimagined focuses on “the emotional journey of a powerful woman who has, in spite of her strength of character, been broken by love. Through the lens of the seasons, Dido discovers, confronts, and ultimately makes peace with her fate and with her place in the world” (composer Melinda Wagner).
Tickets to this concert typically cost upwards of $65 a pop, but we've got them for 30 lucky Groupmuse members for only $20 each (and $15 for Supermusers). Get yours today before they fly!
More information about the program can be found on the SFP website.
Groupmuse ticket buyers are directed to pick up their tickets at will-call in the box office at the Herbst Theater. Seats will be assigned in advance at random and located within the orchestra or dress circle.
