Henry Purcell's opera 'Dido and Aeneas' lasts only an hour, but not just a mere 60 minutes, because this is no less than an emotional and musical rollercoaster. It has us witnessing at top speed the love affair between Queen Dido, who is actually having doubts at first, and Trojan hero Aeneas.

This concert is part of the anniversary concerts.
