Description
Aurora University music students will present Henry Purcell’s opera “Dido and Aeneas.” Written around 1688, this was Purcell’s first opera and has become one of his most performed vocal works. A tragic story of love, politics and intrigue, this opera also has many lighter moments to entertain as well as move the audience.
