Tour of Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas with the
Theatre of Early Music
February 7-16, 2012
Montreal's Theatre of Early Music under the artistic direction of Daniel Taylor returns to Edmonton to perform, in concert, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. A tragic opera in three acts, Dido and Aeneas tells the tale of doomed love between the widowed Queen of Carthage and Aeneas, a prince of Troy. Derived from the fourth book of Virgil’s Aeneid, with a libretto by Nahum Tate, the work was written around 1685 but performed only once in Purcell’s lifetime. In the late 18th century it was rediscovered and adapted for concert performance. It endures as a masterpiece, notable for the emotional authenticity and unaffected beauty of its music.
