Dido and Æneas in Performing Arts
Dido and
Æneas, the opera: The music for this opera was written in the
17th century by the famous baroque composer, Henry Purcell. The libretto
was written by Nahum Tate, who is famous for writing the "happy ending" of
Shakespeare's King Lear. Sound coming soon!
Did you know that there is also a ballet, Dido and
Æneas, choreographed by Mark Morris and performed by his
troupe?
Still working on what music they are using and if it is related to
the opera.
Reception of Chaucer
The New Chaucer Society provides
a forum for teachers and scholars of Geoffrey Chaucer and his age. Of

participate in the inaugural
e-seminars.
