DIDO AND AENEAS​

A ROK Adaptation
Premiered Season 2014-15

​Composed by Henry Purcell
Libretto by Nahum Tate
​
In this modern adaptation of DIDO AND AENEAS, Dido is the Queen of Carthage High School.  When evil forces conspire to separate Dido from her love, Aeneas, the pain is too much to bear, and even her good friends cannot console her.  This tragic cautionary tale serves as a wonderful vehicle for talking with young people about love, friendship, and how to deal with feelings of isolation and depression.   

Appropriate for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and families | Sung in English
​Performance length: approx. 30 minutes

Black lives matter. 

As an organization, ROK is striving to know better and do better. 

As artists, we hear, see, and lift up our siblings of color. 

And as human beings, we sing out that we must reimagine not only what our art form can be, but much more; what our society must be, locally, nationally, and globally.
