Alumni Association of Ohio presents "Cleveland Baroque Orchestra : "Dido & Aeneas""

The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra welcomes McGill alumni with discount tickets!

Apollo’s Fire, the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra, invites McGill alumni to a production of Purcell’s "Dido & Aeneas", the tragic and timeless tale of Queen Dido and her love for the Trojan hero Aeneas.

McGill graduates and their guests will receive a discount on tickets for the performance on January 31 at 2 p.m. at Josaphat Arts Hall. In addition, attendees will have a chance to meet the show’s stage director Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière after the performance.

Lacoursière, who has a multidisciplinary background in music, acting (specializing in commedia dell’arte), and dancing, is an associate partner with Toronto Masque Theatre and Le Nouvel Opéra in Montreal. She is a professor of gesture and baroque dance at l’Université de Montréal and has also taught at Université du Québec à Montréal, Stanford University, and Indiana University. For over 15 years, she has worked as a baroque choreographer, actress, and stage director for many groups and festivals.

The trendy Josaphat Arts Hall, a former Roman Catholic Church, is the winner of two awards for historic preservation (from the American Institute of Architecture and the Cleveland Restoration Society) and has been profiled in numerous newspapers and magazines.

With the McGill alumni discount, B-price tickets for adults are $30. B-price tickets for K-12 and college students are $10. Complimentary valet parking will be provided.
