Dido and Aeneas By Henry Purcell Oct. 21-23, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24, 3:00 p.m. The exquisite music of Dido and Aeneas contains all the drama and variety of a much longer work. The opera is by turns graceful, romantic, bawdy, suspenseful and grief-stricken. This is music that lifts the spirit and moves the soul. Come to experience a much-loved classic again, or to discover it for yourself. Tickets: $15 adults. Free with Mercer ID or any student ID.
