Meaning of el lamento de dido




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

el lamento de dido
  16

Beautiful aria of the opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell, English composer of the Baroque. A beauty! Recreate a scene from Virgil's Aeneid in which Aeneas leaves Carthage and his desperately desperate beloved commits suicide. This was how Virgil justified the historical enmity between Rome and Carthage.
