    Dido and Aeneas (Various Recordings): Multiple professional recordings of the opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell exist on commercial platforms (like those associated with Chandos or Erato) and in archives like the Internet Archive, but these are full musical performances (operas), not spoken-word audiobooks of the libretto or text for general audiobook consumption.
  • Dramatized Libretto Reading
    Available
    Show details
    Dido and Aeneas by Nahum Tate (LibriVox): The Internet Archive hosts a LibriVox recording of Dido and Aeneas, which features a spoken-word version of the libretto by Nahum Tate (with music by Purcell implied or referenced). This is explicitly noted as a dramatized, spoken-word version read by volunteers, not an official, unabridged audiobook of a narrative text, and is found on a non-retail platform (Internet Archive/LibriVox).

Summary

An official, unabridged, spoken-word audiobook of Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, which is an opera with a libretto by Nahum Tate, is not directly available for purchase or standard lending on major commercial audiobook platforms like Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books, Kobo, OverDrive, Hoopla, or Libby. The search results indicate the existence of numerous professional musical recordings of the opera itself, available for purchase or in archives like the Internet Archive. Furthermore, the Internet Archive offers a dramatized, spoken-word reading of the libretto by LibriVox volunteers, which does not meet the criteria for an official, unabridged audiobook from a general commercial retailer. Therefore, the final availability status is false for the specific requested format.
