Handel - Rinaldo
Synopsis
George Frideric Handel was one of those rare composers who excelled in both sacred, secular, instrumental and operatic music, leaving us extraordinary masterpieces in every field. Already renowned in Italy, Handel introduced himself to the city of London with his opera Rinaldo in 1711, which was such a success that he decided to remain in England for good. It is still regarded as one of his greatest operas. Set during the Crusades, Rinaldo is a lavish spectacle that tells a story of love, magic, struggles for power and ultimate reconciliation. Pier Luigi Pizzi’s acclaimed production brings us into a ‘dreamlike, unreal … world of spells and incantations’ (Epoca). Cast:- Armida: Carmela Remigio, Goffredo: Leonardo Cortellazzi, Almirena: Francesca Aspromonte, Rinaldo: Raffaele Pe, Argante: Andrea Patucelli
