The story
The love between Queen Dido and the Trojan prince Aeneas comes under pressure when divine forces and dark intrigues cross their path. What begins as a promising union ultimately leads to an inevitable farewell.

Opera in concert
In partnership with Opera Zuid and Nederlandse Reisopera, Dutch National Opera is presenting Dido and Aeneas as an opera in concert. The dramatic developments will be reinforced by a mise en espace (the placement of the singers in the space) and the costume and lighting design. After two performances at the home of Dutch National Opera & Ballet, the production will travel to Arnhem, Enschede and Heerlen.
