Milena Carbone, inspired to choreograph Henry Purcell's classic from his opera "Dido and Aeneas," found the perfect muse in her friend Dido Haas, who eagerly embraced the idea to honor Nitro in their once shared space, the Nitroglobus gallery.

 

This twenty-minute ballet is a montage of four interpretations of Purcell's work:

- Jessye Norman's original operatic rendition,

- A modern interpretation by Elisabeth Fessler on trumpet, with Cristian Ganicenco on trombone and loop station,

- Annie Lennox's classical duet with a choir, a poignant video creation during the COVID era,

- And Christina Pulhar's jazz-infused version.

 

Dancers Dido Haas and Lalitha Carbone will bring these musical narratives to life against a backdrop of four videos, creating an immersive experience within a darkened cube.

 

The excellent poster by Milena features dancer Lalitha Carbone.
