Stockport Grammar audiences voyage to Ancient Greece

Stockport Grammar audiences stepped back in time to Ancient Greece to watch a spectacular production of Dido and Aeneas. The production was created collaboratively between the Music, Dance and Classics departments.

Based on Virgil’s poem, the Aeneid, which was written in the first century BC., the play follows the tragic love story of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and the Trojan Prince Aeneas. Composer Purcell set the fourth book of the epic poem to music in the 17th century. Chamber Choir and orchestra expertly brought Purcell’s compositions to life and the school’s dancers interpreted the story with expressive choreography. Drama students also created three exclusive scenes which portrayed the thoughts of Dido throughout the play.

Director of Music, Mr Dow said: ‘All the pupils involved should be immensely proud. I thought the whole thing was incredibly beautiful and it was so lovely to see musicians, dancers, actors and lighting experts all working so well together to produce such a wonderful performance.’
