Flash Opera presents Dido and Aeneas, an English baroque opera by Henry Purcell. It is the story of how Dido, the Queen of Carthage and Aeneas, the hero of Troy fell in love and why their relationship didn’t work. This opera is in English and has a running time of approximately 1 hour. The Sunday matinee held at the JCC in Squirrel Hill is for families and will feature a pre-performance talk and a post-performance question/answer period. The room in which the performance will take place is convenient to restrooms and is less formal and more comfortable than a traditional theater venue. Children are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Friday, October 22 at 8pm, we appear at South Hills Retirement Residence (formerly South Hills High School) at 125 Ruth St.

Saturday, October 23 at 8pm, we’re at The Zenith in the South Side at 86 S. 26th St.

Sunday, October 24 at 1:30, we’re at the JCC-Sq. Hill for a family matinee.

While Friday and Saturday night would make a great date night, Sunday will be great for families. Admission is free with donations accepted at the door.

Congratulations Jenifer and best wishes for a great weekend of performances! We’re so proud!
