The Wooster group put on a production called La Didone at the St. Anne's Warehouse which turned out to be an interesting theatrical mix. Most critics boast about the production it was first performed in St. Anne's Warehouse in New York but can now be seen at RedCat in LA. On the Wooster groups website they describe it as:
"In The Wooster Group's production of LA DIDONE, Francesco Cavalli's opera, with libretto by Francesco Busenello, (1641) and Mario Bava's cult movie Terrore nello spazio (1965) collide in a war-like symbiosis, dropping Aeneas' ships onto a forbidding planetary landscape and forming a synergy between early baroque opera and pre-moonlanding sci-fi."
The website also shows a short video of the production and lists reviews they have received:
