Review: Mark Morris’ “Dido and Aeneas” an exuberant spin on ancient epic

Mark Morris' dance opera Dido and Aeneas is a tour de force of late 20th century artistic storytelling, a partial retelling of Virgil's 2,000-year-old epic poem "Aeneid" using Henry Purcell's 1689 musical composition. It is a riveting assemblage, one that smashesa nd rewrites stylistic boundaries.
