The classic mythology of Virgil's Aeneid stirred the imagination of the great English composer, Henry Purcell. His short, three-act opera, Dido and Aeneas, tells the tale of unrequited love with tight dramatic structure and a wide spectrum of emotions. First performed in 1689, Dido and Aeneas is considered to be the first great opera in the English language.
