University of Portsmouth Choir production of Dido and Aeneas DescriptionHenry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas takes an ancient and tragic story of love and loss and sets it to powerful Baroque music. Sung throughout, this fully staged production in the Guildhall's Lens Studio is set in the 1920s. It stars Ciara White (Dido) accompanied by a student company and a chorus of more than 80 singers. Marking 60 years of the University of Portsmouth Choir, this will be a feast of song and dance which really tugs at the heartstrings, as the story of Dido's psychological decline and tragic end is told in really moving music.
