Henry Purcell's and Nahum Tate's adaptation of Virgil's "Aeneid" reenacts the dramatic tale of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and the Trojan War hero Aeneas. Purcell's score is an audience favorite for its memorable arias, choruses and dances, and for its rich, inventive harmonies. This new production of the seventeenth-century musical theater landmark is designed especially for Wilson Concert Hall and features a baroque chamber ensemble.
