Henry Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas is my favourite opera.  Normally clocking in at just under an hour, it’s a perfect jewel of operatic theatre.  When I bought my ticket for the 28 October performance of Dido & Aeneas by Opera Atelier (OA), I assumed that it would be the same production I had seen in Seoul some years before when OA was on tour in East Asia.

It was only a few days before Dido and Aeneas‘ run started that I found out that a half hour of new material had been added, thus bringing the total time with an intermission to 90 minutes.
