A unique element in this Sydney opera event, Dido and Aeneas by Purcell, is the creation of a new prologue, which has been beautifully penned by acclaimed actor and writer Kate Mulvany OAM. This prologue will be performed by the Sorceress, adding context to the narrative.
With a new take on a classic work of music and theatre, Pinchgut's Dido and Aeneas is simply unmissable.


Pinchgut Opera is Australia's premiere Baroque opera company and is dedicated to presenting operatic masterpieces from the Baroque period. We celebrate the beauty and the breadth of emotions through music and the human voice. Other companies do the more familiar operas and early music repertoire excellently; Pinchgut helps audiences discover something new.
