Cameras take a peek behind the scenes of our opera

Film cameras have been following a group of talented University of Northampton students as they prepare to take to the stage and perform an opera.

Popular Music undergraduates, together with fellow students from the Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology, will perform Henry Purcell’s heart-breaking love story, Dido and Aeneas, at Northampton’s Royal Theatre on Saturday 10 June.

Two film trailers for the opera have just been released, a short version featuring dress rehearsals, and a longer version also including the audition process and early rehearsals.

Watch them both below.
