Dido, queen of Carthage, falls in love with the Trojan hero and army leader Aeneas. However, their happiness is rudely interrupted by the Sorceress and the Furies. When Aeneas leaves her to return to his homeland, Dido commits suicide out of anger and grief. But not before she sings the famous lament ‘Remember me’.
