Open Rehearsal: Beethoven Concerto No.2

Veterans Memorial Auditorium (The VETS)

A thought-provoking double bill pairs works written nearly three hundred years apart, each exploring remarkable women and timeless themes that remain all too relevant today. 

The journey begins with one of opera’s earliest masterpieces, Purcell’s poignant Dido and Aeneas, which recounts the tragic love story of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and Trojan hero Aeneas. It's a union compelled by political alliance, ignited by undeniable passion, and thwarted by sorcery and duplicity.

A young prince travels the universe and, determined to be reunited with his beloved Rose, explores his new surroundings looking for a way back to his tiny asteroid home planet. During his journey, he meets a number of colorful, and often puzzling, characters—each, in turn, sharing their mite of wisdom and helping (and sometimes hindering) the Little Prince’s attempt to return to Asteroid B-612.
