Opera “Hannibal”
“Hannibal” is not merely a contemporary opera: it is a stage jolt that fuses memory, music and protest in a 21st-century language. This creation by Michael De Cock and Junior Mthombeni revisits Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas to face the open wounds of war, migration and uprooting.
About this event
Far from classical conventions, Hannibal is built on a dramatic language that combines musical theatre, urban arts and sounds from every continent. The result is a bold, visceral proposal that turns opera into a mirror of the present: vibrant, complex and profoundly human.
The tragic figure of Dido becomes here a symbol of so many silenced stories. In its reinterpretation, Hannibal asserts the power of remembering, of looking back to understand who we are and where we are going. A stage experience for those who believe opera can and must speak the language of our time.
A call not to forget. A song that defies oblivion.
