BarokOpera Amsterdam tells Virigil’s tale of Aeneas’ travels through the underworld in an extended  version of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.

The musical depth of 17th-century English composer Henry Purcell received an overwhelmingly heartfelt and hilarious production from BarokOpera Amsterdam this week. The group has collected a milieu of music from the composer in addition to a colorful commentary on the lives of King William III and Queen Mary to paint an entirely vivid, and candid, picture of history through a modern lens.
