Didon

About the show

Dido falls in love with the shipwrecked Trojan Aeneas, though she is promised to the African king Iarbas. After Aeneas defeats Iarbas, the ghost of his father Anchises tells him to leave for Italy. Heartbroken, Dido kills herself on a funeral pyre, and the Carthaginians swear revenge on Aeneas’s Roman descendants.
