Music Theatre Transparant [br]presents

0:00:03.201,0:00:06.882
youth opera 2012[br]Dido and Aeneas[br]by Henry Purcell

0:00:06.882,0:00:23.305
(Music)

0:00:23.305,0:00:27.064
What is special[br]about Transparant's[br]youth opera project?

0:00:27.064,0:00:30.047
Morgane: Working with dancers, [br]that's very new for me.

0:00:30.047,0:00:32.949
I've never danced like this [br]in my life.

0:00:32.949,0:00:38.282
Ivan: All 3 elements come together in an opera:

0:00:38.282,0:00:43.532
dance, musicians -- music -- and singers.

0:00:43.532,0:00:50.332
How can we intertwine them [br]and make them one?

0:00:50.332,0:00:55.641
Why should people[br]come to see Transparant's[br]Dido and Aeneas?

0:00:55.949,0:00:58.631
Morgane: The audience will have so many things to look at,

0:00:58.631,0:01:00.283
it will be very powerful, I think.

0:01:00.283,0:01:02.348
Astrid: You don't really notice[br]that this was put together

0:01:02.348,0:01:04.865
in two weeks,[br]from scratch.

0:01:04.865,0:01:07.349
I find it rather professional,

0:01:07.349,0:01:09.465
given that the participants are young

0:01:09.465,0:01:12.764
and not yet professional[br]or semi-professional.

0:01:12.764,0:01:17.183
Ivan: I think it's going to be [br]a different version

0:01:17.183,0:01:20.315
of the traditional Dido and Aeneas

0:01:20.315,0:01:22.965
that we've always seen [br]somewhere else.

0:01:22.965,0:01:28.615
Nicolas: There are few organisations[br]that do this, in this manner.

0:01:28.615,0:01:33.382
To me, this is [br]a truly unique project.

0:01:33.382,0:01:38.265
Matthias: The directing style of Wouter and Itamar [br]is very modern,

0:01:38.265,0:01:40.515
and the music[br]is very ancient.

0:01:40.515,0:01:46.148
That results [br]in a very original approach.

0:01:46.148,0:01:49.415
It is very different[br]from the classical performance

0:01:49.415,0:01:53.700
of baroque opera[br]or even opera in general.
