Madras Musical Association brings Henry Purcellâs baroque opera âDido and Aeneasâ to Chennai  (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Henry Purcell is a celebrated English composer of the baroque era, a man who lived and died in the shadow of Westminster Abbey. The great strains of music that spilt over from the abbeyâs organ influenced his score, and when he died in 1695, he was buried adjacent to the organ. In Purcellâs vast repertory, Dido and Aeneas stands as bright as a lighthouse, casting its searching light on Dido, the queen of Carthage and her beloved, the Trojan hero Aeneas. A story of love, duty, betrayal and l
Guitars in a Carnatic city: The rock ânâ roll story of 1960s Madras (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1960s, Chennai was a quiet city with tree-lined boulevards, bungalow-studded neighbourhoods, and the beginning of an art movement that would become synonymous with Madras.

Madras Day: Where Chennai falls in love (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chennai is full of quiet corners made for two. Between the city’s creeks, chugging trains, cadets and coastlines, The Hindu Weekend tells you about four date spots for four different moods. As the city turns 387, we celebrate these haunts with four memories. Loving, though, solely involves your labour. Head to St Thomas Mount, home to military heritage, an Anglo-Indian legacy, and resident ghosts. But an air of romance lingers in its tree-lined avenues dotted with colonial bungalows. Read about
