Music Theatre Transparant 
presents

3
00:00:03,201 --> 00:00:06,882
youth opera 2012
Dido and Aeneas
by Henry Purcell

4
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:23,305
(Music)

5
00:00:23,305 --> 00:00:27,064
What is special
about Transparant's
youth opera project?

6
00:00:27,064 --> 00:00:30,047
Morgane: Working with dancers, 
that's very new for me.

7
00:00:30,047 --> 00:00:32,949
I've never danced like this 
in my life.

8
00:00:32,949 --> 00:00:38,282
Ivan: All 3 elements come together in an opera:

9
00:00:38,282 --> 00:00:43,532
dance, musicians -- music -- and singers.

10
00:00:43,532 --> 00:00:50,332
How can we intertwine them 
and make them one?

11
00:00:50,332 --> 00:00:55,641
Why should people
come to see Transparant's
Dido and Aeneas?

12
00:00:55,949 --> 00:00:58,631
Morgane: The audience will have so many things to look at,

13
00:00:58,631 --> 00:01:00,283
it will be very powerful, I think.

14
00:01:00,283 --> 00:01:02,348
Astrid: You don't really notice
that this was put together

15
00:01:02,348 --> 00:01:04,865
in two weeks,
from scratch.

16
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:07,349
I find it rather professional,

17
00:01:07,349 --> 00:01:09,465
given that the participants are young

18
00:01:09,465 --> 00:01:12,764
and not yet professional
or semi-professional.

19
00:01:12,764 --> 00:01:17,183
Ivan: I think it's going to be 
a different version

20
00:01:17,183 --> 00:01:20,315
of the traditional Dido and Aeneas

21
00:01:20,315 --> 00:01:22,965
that we've always seen 
somewhere else.

22
00:01:22,965 --> 00:01:28,615
Nicolas: There are few organisations
that do this, in this manner.

23
00:01:28,615 --> 00:01:33,382
To me, this is 
a truly unique project.

24
00:01:33,382 --> 00:01:38,265
Matthias: The directing style of Wouter and Itamar 
is very modern,

25
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:40,515
and the music
is very ancient.

26
00:01:40,515 --> 00:01:46,148
That results 
in a very original approach.

27
00:01:46,148 --> 00:01:49,415
It is very different
from the classical performance

28
00:01:49,415 --> 00:01:53,700
of baroque opera
or even opera in general.

29
00:01:53,700 --> 00:02:00,001
