The tragic love of Queen Dido of Carthage and the Trojan General Aeneas comes to life through the pen of Henry Purcell, often noted as the first great composer of British Opera. The LSO continues its collaboration with the U of L Opera Workshop in this fully staged presentation, preceded by a prelude of chamber music specially selected to guide your ears toward the beauty, grace and subtlety of Baroque opera.

 Composed in 1689, Dido & Aeneas  is lyric tragedy that focuses on the passionate, yet ultimately tragic, love affair between Queen Dido of Carthage and Aeneas of Troy.  The opera, runs  is fully staged, costumed, and sung in English.
