Dans le cadre d’un projet pour l’ensemble des 3 classes de première STMG visant à dynamiser l’enseignement et à proposer une ouverture culturelle aux élèves, nos élèves ont assisté à une représentation de « Didon et Énée » à la Batterie à Guyancourt, vendredi 28 février 2020.
Le spectacle était offert par le lycée.
Petite revue critique rédigée en anglais par deux élèves :
Dido and AEneas Rock ***
A new generation baroque opera mixes the classic of the 1689 show and rock with a musician playing the guitar. This new generation classic was originally made by Henry Purcell. It contains three acts and the show tries to implant humour to change from the original drama. On stage, there were four women, three of them singing and the last one was the narrator.
It took place in a modern concert hall and the producer dressed the women with colorful dresses to show the modernity. Dido and AEneas was original because there was an electric guitar, a modern instrument. The script was changed because the English language was not the same in 1689.
My personal opinion of that opera is really divided because I really enjoyed when the women were singing, but I find the production cheap enough.
