Dido and Aeneas
April 25 - 27
The TU Music for The Stage Ensemble brings Henry Purcell's baroque masterpiece Dido and Aeneas to life. Based on the Virgil's Aeneid, Dido and Aeneas tells the story of Dido, the Queen of Carthage and her doomed love for the Trojan Prince Aeneas. Purcell's only opera features raucous choruses, evil witches and Greek gods, all culminating in the hauntingly beautiful aria, "Dido's Lament".

Conducted by Joseph Gotoff
