Ciò che sappiamo a tutt'oggi su Henry Purcell è scarso e non sempre inconfutabile, ragion per cui è molto complesso tracciare una biografia del nostro musicista. Ma è indubbio che "Dido ad Aenas" sia il lavoro più importante di Purcell, l'opera destinata ad essere rappresentata al Collegio per Signorine di Chelsea, collegio tenuto da Josiah Priest. Donatella Righini affronta la prassi esecutiva dell'opera e ci offre una particolare lettura del libretto attraverso la possibilità di confrontare le versioni storiche della storia narrata da Tate e da Dryden con quella di Virgilio. Autori: Donatella Righini.
