Operas at ESU
The ESU Opera Theater and ESU Orchestra will present an evening of two one-act operas this Friday at Beach Music Hall on the Emporia State University campus.
The performance, beginning at 7:30 p.m., will feature the operas “Dido and Aeneas,” by Henry Purcell and “Signor Deluso,” by Thomas Passatieri.
Derived from Homer’s “Iliad,” “Dido and Aeneas” concerns the tragic love story between Aeneas and the Carthaginian queen Dido. “Signor Deluso” is a comedy whose moral is, “Don’t believe everything you see.”
