‘Dido and Aeneas’ Week with Mark Morris Dance Group
Cue the heartbreak, this week of dance-focused activities features on-demand screenings of the 1995 film version of Mark Morris’ ballet, set to the Purcell opera, about true and truly ill-fated love between a widowed queen and a shipwrecked prince, also featuring mischievous witches and a tragic death lamented by Cupid himself. The week also offers a live Q&A with Morris and filmmaker Barbara Willis Sweete, and “Dido Conversations” with Morris and artists involved in the ballet. You can channel your sad, inner Aeneas and learn some of the choreography from the ballet online with MMDG dancers on Feb. 10 and 13.
