Henry Purcell, Dido and Aeneas (London 1688).

info      
Dido and Aeneas (Z. 626) is an opera in a prologue and three acts with a libretto by Nahum Tate. The dates of its composition and first performance are uncertain. It was composed no later than July 1688, and was performed at Josias Priest’s Girls’ School in London in late 1689. Some scholars argue that it was composed as early as 1683. The story is based on Book IV of Virgil’s Aeneid. It tells of the love of Dido, Queen of Carthage, for the Trojan hero Aeneas, and her despair when he leaves her. A monumental work of baroque opera, Dido and Aeneas is remembered as one of Purcell’s most important theatrical works. It is also Purcell’s only all-sung dramatic work. One of the earliest known English operas, it owes much to John Blow’s Venus and Adonis, both in structure and overall effect. The influence of Cavalli’s opera Didone is also evident (info from Wikipedia).
