Purcells Oper Dido & Aneas zählt zu den bedeutendsten Opern der Musikgeschichte, setzt sie sich doch von der damals üblichen Form der opera seria deutlich ab. Auch wenn viele Teile des Werkes verschollen sind, lässt sich doch die ungemeine Begabung des Komponisten für dramatische Effekte nachhören. Nicht minder begabt interpretiert Teodor Currentzis dieses Meisterwerk zusammen mit seinem Ensemble MusicAeterna und herausragenden Gesangssolisten.
