In a few words:
Dido is a chamber opera where tragedy and comedy intertwine, carried by a story of infinite delicacy. Purcell incorporated dances from French opera and emphasised arias like the Italians. Its one-hour conciseness does not detract from the dramatic tension, which culminates in Dido's final lament.
