Music Theatre Transparant presents
youth opera 2012 Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell
(Music)
What is special about Transparant's youth opera project?
Morgane: Working with dancers, that's very new for me.
I've never danced like this in my life.
Ivan: All 3 elements come together in an opera:
dance, musicians -- music -- and singers.
How can we intertwine them and make them one?
Why should people come to see Transparant's Dido and Aeneas?
Morgane: The audience will have so many things to look at,
it will be very powerful, I think.
Astrid: You don't really notice that this was put together
in two weeks, from scratch.
I find it rather professional,
given that the participants are young
and not yet professional or semi-professional.
Ivan: I think it's going to be a different version
of the traditional Dido and Aeneas
that we've always seen somewhere else.
Nicolas: There are few organisations that do this, in this manner.
To me, this is a truly unique project.
Matthias: The directing style of Wouter and Itamar is very modern,
and the music is very ancient.
That results in a very original approach.
It is very different from the classical performance
of baroque opera or even opera in general.
