Remember Me On seeing Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas' in Prague

The English aren’t famous for their operas, so it’s surprising really that Purcell’s opera was produced at all. 'Dido and Aeneas' is an insight into what English #opera might have been like if people had taken it more seriously. #purcell #didoandaeneas

My second viewing was a modern, stylized (hints of Tim Burton) 2020 production by the Teatro Comunale Luciano Pavarotti, Modena. Noteworthy was the small orchestra at centre stage.

Odd to step out of a theatre, while it is still light outside. It helped that Purcell's #DidoAndAeneas at the #MecklenburgischesStaatstheater in Schwerin lasted only 75 minutes. Excellent decision to perform this opera combined with ballet. Premiered on Friday, I hope it'll stay a long time to come.

Jessye Norman - always sublime. When I am down on this world, she makes me remember beauty and grace and the power of music to kindle a fire in the soul. #JessyeNorman #DidoAndAeneas #Purcell #Opera #ClassicalMusic youtu.be/jOIAi2XwuWo?...

Purcell: Dido and Aeneas, Z. 626, Act III: Recitative. "Thy Hand, Belinda" - Song. "When I Am Laid in Earth" (Dido)

open.spotify.com/track/1JqyC4... This is a heartbreakingly good performance of Dido’s lament from #JoycediDonato - quiet resignation mixed with a trembling apprehension as she comes to the end of her life. #classicalmusic #Purcell #DidoandAeneas
