DIDO AND AENEAS
by Henry Purcell
LA SERVA E L'USSERO
by Luigi Ricci
waapa.ecu.edu.au
The first of the two chamber operas is the drama of Dido and her lover, Aeneas, and is one of the most tragic of love stories - two lovers torn apart by the Gods. The sublime music of Henry Purcell is as relevant today as it was in 17th Century England. La Serva e l'Ussero is simply a playful drama, with a sentimental plot and a happy ending!
