Dido y Eneas

Delfos Danza Contemporánea, Coro Guillermo Sarabia

Dido y Eneas una de las óperas más importantes del barroco (1682), del compositor inglés Henry Purcell, será uno de los Grandes Eventos del Festival Cultural Mazatlán 2017, con la actuación de importantes grupos artísticos del puerto y solistas vocales invitados.

La culpa, el poder, el amor, la venganza y la magia cruzan el escenario para tejer una historia entrañable que invita a diferentes lecturas. La ópera narra la desventurada historia de amor entre Dido, la reina de Cartago y el príncipe troyano Eneas, conquistador de Roma.
Dido, la legendaria reina norteafricana de la ciudad de Cartago, tuvo que huir de Troya después de que su hermano Pigmalión matara a su marido. Con su hermana Ana y un grupo de leales, acampó en la costa del norte de África.
Jarbas, un rey local dispuso venderle un trozo de tierra que no fuera más grande que la piel de un toro. La astuta reina cortó la piel en diminutas tiras para demarcar el territorio donde quería edificar la ciudad de Cartago.
Cuando la ciudad se hallaba en construcción llegó Eneas, su barco había desviado la ruta debido a una tormenta.

Surge entre ambos un apasionado romance durante una cacería interrumpida por la lluvia que los obliga a refugiarse en una cueva. Fue amor a primera vista, ella lo idealizó convertido en su marido. Eneas sentía lo mismo, pero los dioses le recordaron que su destino estaba en Italia para fundar un nuevo reino y temeroso se marcha. Dido, ofendida y deshonrada decide quitarse la vida con la espada que Eneas le había regalado. La propuesta escénica presentada por el Instituto de Cultura de Mazatlán, recurre al uso de símbolos para representar el desdoblamiento de los personajes e imprimir mayor emotividad a la trama.
En su búsqueda por presentar una versión ágil y atractiva de “Dido y Eneas”, el Instituto de Cultura de Mazatlán ha decidido presentar la edición que los compositores Imogen Holst y Benjamin Britten realizaron en 1950, una de las versiones más atractivas jamás creadas sobre esta ópera.

Dido and Eneas one of the most important Baroque operas (1682) by English composer Henry Purcell, will be one of the great events of the Mazatlán Cultural Festival 2017, with the performance of important artistic groups of the port and invited vocal soloists.

The Camerata Mazatlan, Delfos danza contemporaneo and the Guillermo Sarabia Choir come together to capture the complex and rich universe of this immortal love story based on the libretto that the poet Nahum Tate wrote from the "Book IV" of the "Aeneid" by Latin poet Virgilio.

About 100 artists are involved in this production, among singers, musicians and dancers of contemporary dance. Outstanding stars include Sarah Holcombe (Dido) and Andrés Carrillo (Aeneas), Oralia Castro (The Sorceress) and Rebeca De Rueda (Belinda). The staging retakes the original elements to transform them into a contemporary work, when playing with different planes and times simultaneously.

Guilt, power, love, revenge and magic cross the stage to weave an endearing story that invites different readings. The opera narrates the hapless love story between Dido, the queen of Carthage and the Trojan prince Aeneas, conqueror of Rome.

Dido, the legendary North African queen of the city of Carthage, had to flee from Troy after her brother Pygmalion killed her husband. With her sister Ana and a group of loyals, she camped on the coast of North Africa.
Jarbas, a local king arranged to sell her a piece of land that was no bigger than the skin of a bull. The astute queen cut the skin in tiny strips to demarcate the territory where she wanted to build the city of Carthage.

When the city was under construction Aeneas arrived, his ship had diverted the route due to a storm. A passionate romance arises between them during a hunt interrupted by the rain that forces them to take shelter in a cave. It was love at first sight, she idealized him and he become her husband. Aeneas felt the same, but the gods reminded him that his destiny was in Italy to find a new kingdom and fearful march. Dido, offended and dishonored, decided to take her life with the sword that Aeneas had given her. The scenic proposal presented by the Instituto de Cultura de Mazatlan, resorts to the use of symbols to represent the unfolding of the characters and to impress more emotion to the plot.

 
In its search to present an agile and attractive version of "Dido and Aeneas", the Instituto de Cultura de Mazatlan has decided to present the edition that the composers Imogen Holst and Benjamin Britten made in 1950, one of the most attractive versions ever created of this Opera.

This production of the Instituto de Cultura de Mazatlan will have the support of the Civil Association Friends of the Opera, a production courtesy of Vivace productions and will be under the supervision of the maestros Enrique Patrón De Rueda and Martha Félix (Coro Guillermo Sarabia); Claudia Lavista and Víctor Ruiz (Delfos danza contemporaneo) and Percival Álvarez (Camerata Mazatlán).
