This Chandos featured release is a brand new recording of one the first English operatic masterpieces, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas. Sarah Connolly and Gerald Finley take the title roles with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment conducted from the keyboard by Elizabeth Kenny and Steven Devine. This version of the opera is based on the sort of performance which would have been known in Purcell’s day, with dances as part of the ensemble. Sarah Connolly writes of the project: ‘It seems I have known Purcell’s Dido all my life and feel able to express myself in this music like no other. As a character Dido fascinates me to the point of obsession.’ Connolly sings regularly with the Orchestra and they will perform this opera together at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in March 2009.
