Events

Audio sample: “Stay, Prince and hear” from Dido and Aeneas
  • The first verifiable performance of Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas based on the libretto by Nahum Tate takes place in a girls' boarding school in Chelsea in 1689 (or 1688) . The librettist Nahum Tate took the material from the Aeneid of Virgil . While the original version of the libretto has survived, Purcell's music has only come down to us in later copies. The music of the prologue is completely lost, probably because the allusion to current politics in it no longer fitted in later performances. The opera is one of the most important musical and dramatic works of the Baroque and is Purcell's only real opera (as opposed to several semi-operas ). Dido and Aeneas is remarkable for its brevity. Purcell is also more oriented towards French than Italian opera, e.g. B. the choir plays an unusually important role and some dances are included in the action. Probably the best-known piece is Dido's lament “ When I am laid in earth ”, an aria over a lamento - Basso ostinato .
  • January 8th : The Italian soprano Vittoria Tarquini and Jean-Baptiste Farinel , Kapellmeister (or 1st violinist) of the Elector of Hanover get married in Copenhagen . 3 weeks later (on January 30th) they both appeared in the premiere of Agostino Steffani's opera Henrico Leone in Braunschweig .
