Georg Friedrich Händel: Agrippina

About the Event

Prepare for intrigue, power plays and dark humor, all set to one of Handel's most exciting scores. Machiavelli had nothing on the Empress Agrippina as she scheme to ensure the accession of her son, Nero, to the Roman Imperial throne…

Ann Hallenberg and Xavier Sabata, both internationally‐renowned baroque specialists, lead the cast, under the baton of another expert in this genre, Enrico Onofri. Mariame Clément's modern‐dress production underlines the universal truth that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
