Synopsis
Set to words by Nahum Tate, the opera follows Dido's – the Queen of Carthage's – fate. In Purcell's and Tate's version, the call for Aeneas to abandon Dido is the work of evil witches', who hat "all in proper state".[2] At their 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.[2]
