The Mark Morris Dance Group presents “Dido and Aeneas,” a timeless story of love, politics and betrayal. Considered Morris’ modern masterpiece, “Dido and Aeneas” is an innovative and fresh interpretation of Henry Purcell’s opera.
Since Queen Dido of Carthage first appeared in Virgil’s epic poem, “Aeneid,” more than 2000 years ago, she has been a touchstone for artists to express society’s changing attitudes towards women, love and politics. Dido has been immortalized in poetry, paintings, drama, two operas and now through the eyes of choreographer Mark Morris.
