Dido and Aeneas is an Opera by Henry Purcell. Set to words by Nahum Tate, the opera follows Dido's – the Queen of Carthage's – fate. Stay, prince, and hear great Jove's command are the opening lines of a sprite. At evil witches' bidding and disguised as Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, he commands Aeneas to leave Carthage – and Dido, its queen. Abandoned by her lover Aeneas, she dies; the witches triumph.[3] [1]
The piece appears in Act II, Scene III of the opera. The original stage direction reads: "The neighbourhood of Carthage, with distant view of the sea. Enter Æneas passing towards the city. A Spirit appears, suddenly interrupting his progress."[3]
The recitativo "Stay, prince, and hear great Jove's command ..." does not appear on any album. There has been a radio broadcast with the great Jessye Norman.
