Händel, Alcina: La Monnaie

イベント情報

Witness one of Händel's most deeply felt and multifaceted operas, performed by Christophe Rousset and his Talens Lyriques. Pierre Audi's stage production is based on the principles of perspective, with wings in the form of painted panels. The result is marvellous modern musical theater in a historizing frame.

The story of the sorceress Alcina, an initially hedonistic, manipulative woman who later finds herself a victim of love, fits into the genre of the ‘magical opera’ with numerous magical elements, but Handel achieved considerable emotional authenticity in his characterisations.
