Studio Z, 275 E. Fourth St., St. Paul, MN 55101

Glorious Revolution Baroque teams up with some of the Twin Cities’ finest baroque string and keyboard players, along with Renaissance & Baroque specialist David Douglass and early-music diva Ellen Hargis, to present Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas.” In downtown St. Paul’s newest performance venue, the new Studio Z, GRB presents an intimate house-concert-style staging, with the audience mere feet away from the action.

The production is to be paired with the world premiere of Kirsten Broberg’s new work “Songs of Longing”, inspired by classical texts and commissioned by the Jerome Foundation on behalf of GRB’s Carrie Henneman Shaw.

Tim O’Brien appears as Aeneas, with Carrie Henneman Shaw as Belinda and Lisa Drew as the Sorceress; with supporting roles played by Kim Sueoka, Linda Kachelmeier, Kris Kautzman, Craig Lemming, and Scott Sandersfeld.

Instrumentalists include GRB’s Miriam Scholz-Carlson, Julie Elhard, and Tami Morse, along with Bruce Jacobs, Marc Levine, Inger Dahlin, Ginna Watson, Margaret Humphrey, Phil Rukavina.
