We are excited to present a concert inspired by the themes of Virgil’s Aeneid, viewed through the lens of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.

The first half introduces the characters of Dido, Aeneas, and the mischievous gods through song, music, and visual projections. The second half features a full performance of Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas, re-imagined with traditional harpsichord and continuo alongside jazz-infused interpretations, while a lively folk troupe brings the sailors’ song to life. Far more than a school concert, this is an evening for anyone who loves quality live music and fresh, modern interpretations of timeless repertoire—a joyful musical smorgasbord where young performers bring classic texts to life with creativity and energy.

Enjoy delicious drinks and light bites from our Café Bar ahead of the event.

Available to pre-order when booking your tickets, you can choose from a selection of house drinks on arrival, accompanied by a mezze board of bread, dips, olives, stuffed peppers, falafel, feta cheese and garden salad (all vegetarian). Just select which option – for one or two people – you would like, before checkout. Or if you’ve already booked, please email boxoffice@stgeorgesbristol.co.uk to add your food to your order.

Your pre-ordered food and drink will be available to collect from the Café Bar from 90 minutes before the event. It’s the perfect way to begin your event experience at St George’s!
