Rounding off an incredible week, Tom Morris' production of Purcell's great British opera will star the up-and-coming soprano Pumeza Matshikiza and The English Concert.
After last year's closing semi-staging of Handel's Messiah, Bristol Old Vic director Tom Morris again lends his talents to another vocal and orchestral masterpiece - Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
This year, though, he's joined by The English Concert and the fantastic young South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza to make this semi-staged version into the perfect way to finish another memorable Bristol Proms.
Part of #BristolProms
Last year's inaugural Bristol Proms - championing the highest musical standards while exploring the creative possibilities of digital technology and encouraging the audience to relax and participate - struck a new path towards the future of classical concerts.
