Dido and Aeneas

The Rape of Lucretia

Approved

A thought-provoking double bill pairs works written nearly three hundred years apart, each exploring remarkable women and timeless themes that remain all too relevant today. The evening begins with one of opera’s earliest masterpieces, Purcell’s poignant Dido and Aeneas, which recounts the tragic love story of Dido, Queen of Carthage, and Trojan hero Aeneas, a union compelled by political alliance, ignited by undeniable passion, and thwarted by sorcery and duplicity. With its ingenious score and potent, timely story, Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia astounds as it brings issues of corruption, control, and abuse of power to the forefront
