Synopsis
Berliozâs colossal masterpiece requires stupendous forcesâdozens of soloists, enormous chorus, orchestra and ballet, a superb conductor who understands the uniqueness of the scoreâplus a production that does visual justice to the work. âA stupendous achievementâ was one criticâs assessment of Peter Wexlerâs inventive production. And with James Levineâs wizardry galvanizing the marvelous all-star cast, this is truly a gem. PlĂĄcido Domingo is the legendary hero Aeneas, Jessye Norman the obsessed prophetess Cassandra, and Tatiana Troyanos is Queen Dido, who commits suicide when Aeneas leaves her.
