Dido & Aeneas

Album by Henry Purcell & Le Concert Spirituel & Hervé Niquet

Dido and Aeneas is a chamber opera by English composer Henry Purcell, first performed circa 1689. It exemplifies late 17th-century English Baroque vocal and instrumental writing with recitatives, solo airs, choruses and dance movements, and it occupies a prominent place in Purcell's stage works and in the early history of English opera.
