Henry Purcell's only Opera proper, Dido and Aeneas is a magnificent
example of English Baroque music, with lively dances and passionate
aria sections that demonstrate Purcell's masterful compositional
and choral writing skill. Based on a libretto by Nahum Tate it was
first performed in 1689, comprises three acts and lasts about an
hour. Filled with dramatic lyricism with a wide range of musical
and emotional content, it is a monumental Baroque composition
considered to be one of England's foremost operatic works. Dido and
Aeneas contains all the elements for a successful opera including a
shipwreck, sorcery, love and lost love and death. This is the Vocal
and Full Operatic Score, edited by Margaret Laurie and Thurston
Dart. With its interesting and imaginative realization and
authentic editorial process this is an excellent edition that
features some performing choices and variants and also includes the
reconstructed prologue.
