In 2023, VOYCE is delighted to present a staging of Henry Purcell’s stunning Dido & Aeneas. Premiered in 1689, Dido & Aeneas is one of the quintessential baroque operas that include stunning choruses, duos, trios, and of course, the iconic aria When I am Laid in Earth. This opera recounts the story of Dido, the queen of Carthage who after she loses her husband vows to never marry again until she sees the handsome Aeneas, a hero of the Trojan War, which makes her think otherwise. Belinda, Dido’s sister and attendant suggest to her that uniting their two kingdoms would benefit both.
