Henry Purcell

We’re off to Denmark for an opera “double bill” on this week’s Sunday Opera (9/21 3:00 p.m.) with two rather diverse works: Henry Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas” and Kurt Weill’s “The Seven Deadly Sins.”

This week's Sunday Opera begins with Purcell's setting of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as "The Fairy Queen" and is followed by three (and a bit) treatments of Shakespeare's "The Tempest finishing with Paul Moravec's Pulitzer Prize winning Tempest Fantasy.
