Dido and Aeneas is actually surprisingly easy to study- find a summary online for the plot (although this is pretty irrelevant in terms of the actual exam). The best approach to take is find a list of Baroque characteristics and fit them to the score (ie. find examples of each and compile a list). Make sure its a comprehensive list. Then pick a few characteristics that are unique to Purcell (ie. word painting) and make notes on them.

Hope that helps!
