A double bill of two masterpieces of early English opera, recorded at the beautiful Confidencen Theater, Sweden
Two classic court operas are brought together at the historic Confidencen Theatre in Sweden to tell the story of love, whether between gods or kings.
Venus & Adonis, composed in 1683 by John Blow, is considered the earliest example of an English opera. It tells the enchanting story of two mythical lovers and their cruel fate in scenes that range from lighthearted comedy to the deepest despair.
Henry Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas, written in 1689, has become one of the most famous and beloved operas of the Baroque era with its magnificent music, dramatic plot, and themes of love, friendship, jealousy, and cruelty. The opera is perhaps best known for Dido’s achingly beautiful lament When I am Laid in Earth.
