Wayne McGregor's new interpretation of Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas was first performed at Teatro alla Scala (Milan, Italy). Following the successful run of performances in Italy the opera was then brought to the UK; performed as part of a double bill at The Royal Opera House (London, UK). The opera was also broadcast on BBC 4 television and BBC Radio 3.
The animated unicorn sequence created by Hotbox Studios for the opera is shown at the end of the opera as a representation of passing from one world to the next.
Collaborating on Dido and Aeneas were Christopher Hogwood (Conductor), Wayne McGregor (Direction), Hildegard Bechtler (Scenes), Fotini Dimou (Costumes), Lucy Carter (Lighting Design), Mark Hatchard (Animation and Visual Effects).
Hotbox Studios has been an inventive collaborator on a number of our works since 2002, for both large scale theatres and more intimate touring productions. Developing new and arresting techniques for animation that interplay seamlessly with live action on stage they have also developed eloquent sequences for my recent operas at La Scala and Covent Garden. Hotbox's positive, intelligent and open approach always make the creative process a thoroughly enjoyable one. They are dedicated, extremely reliable and inspired. Wayne McGregor
