Film adaptation of "Dido and Aeneas" - 1995
Excerpt from film adaptation of "Dido and Aeneas"
In the summer of 1995, a filmed version of Morris’ production directed by Barbara Willis Sweete was produced by Rhombus Media. Sweete, who had previously worked with MMDG on the Emmy award-winning film, Falling Down Stairs, recreated the Dido and Aeneas set on a sound stage in Toronto, Canada and filmed the work without the constraints of a proscenium stage. The film captured Mark Morris in his critically acclaimed role, brought the long famed dance sequences to motion picture and television audiences.
