The Fire of Remorse/Regret: Vergil

In the Aeneid, Vergil relates how the ill-fated Queen Dido ends her life on a funeral pyre. Her ruin, and the challenge of destiny faced by Aeneas, inspired numerous composers from the Renaissance to the present day. Their musical treatments underpin a program exploring how Vergil has inspired composers across centuries and continents, and are complemented by settings from his other epics, the Eclogues and the Georgics.
