Dido and Aeneas Berlin — Henry Purcell, 1689
Purcell's Dido and Aeneas is the earliest great English-language opera — barely an hour long, completely devastating. Queen Dido of Carthage loves the Trojan refugee Aeneas; he is destined to leave; her final lament 'When I am laid in earth' is one of the supreme moments in all music.
Why this production at the Staatsoper Berlin
The Staatsoper Berlin stages Dido at its actual scale — small orchestra, small chorus, intimate. Purcell was not writing for the modern opera house, and trying to inflate him to that scale ruins the work.
What to expect in Berlin
Short, dense, unforgettable. Ideal for anyone who feels intimidated by a full Wagner evening but wants the opera emotional experience compressed into an hour.
