This epic opera follows Virgil, beginning as the Greeks appear to have ceded the field after ten years of the Trojan War. Cassandra tries to warn of the terrible fate to come, but fate is set and Troy falls. The first two acts cover this tragic end, then the flight of survivors to Carthage and events at Carthage weiterhin in 3 acts - 5, culminating in the further reise for Italy and Rome. This is Virgil's classic epic, in operatic form, in about a three-and-a-half-hour performance from German Opera.
