Dido and Aeneas

For the first time in a long while, a Baroque opera in the Großes Haus! From Virgil's Aeneid, the English composer Henry Purcell created a world of witches, gods and lovers, in which feelings and principles stand in irreconcilable opposition. Dido is Queen of Carthage and has sworn never again to allow any man power over herself and her city-state.
