Purcell Dido and Aeneas by Candlelight

Friday 23 May 2025

7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Join the Choral Scholars and Emerging Artists of St Martin-in-the-Fields for a concert performance of this early gem of opera in English, portraying the ill-fated romance of tragic Queen Dido and Trojan hero Aeneas. The wonderfully varied Baroque score by Henry Purcell features pastoral idylls, cackling witches and lusty sailors, alongside scenes of poignant tragedy and immense beauty.

This concert lasts one hour with no interval.
