"Marianne Beate Kielland stands out from all solo singers in the role of Dido. Her voice is amazing with a great depth, volume and lightness at the same time. Her famous perimortem aria ‘When I am laid in earth’ made the time stop" (Operamagazine.nl, 27 April 2018).

Daria Telyatnikova is a member of Dido and Aeneas premiere at the Bolshoi Theatre. She performed the part of Second witch in the first series. Now it is Dido’s turn - part that she had already performed at St. Petersburg conservatoire and Concert hall of Mariinsky Theatre.
