Part of the BBC Proms. Abandoned by her lover, Dido must choose between death or a life without love. Her painful decision is powerfully dramatised in some of the most emotive music of the Baroque period, including Dido's famous lament, When I am laid in earth. Period-instrument ensemble La Nuova Musica makes its Proms debut under Artistic Director David Bates, who made his own Proms debut last year conducting Mozart's Requiem. They are joined by an exciting cast led by mezzo-soprano Alice Coote and former Kathleen Ferrier Prize-winner James Newby in the title roles.
