Ad Parnassum and L’Offerta Musicale di Venezia’s interpretation of Henry Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas was original and engaging, combining the traditional elements of music, singing and drama with dance and props.The story tells one of the most tragic tales of love and loss. Before founding Rome, Aeneas was a Trojan soldier and when Troy fell, he left with his followers by ship.
