Handel

Alcina

Intrigue surrounds the ruthless beauty Alcina who spends her time seducing lovers then - once bored - swiftly disgarding them. Deceit, sensuality and seduction pervade Handel’s glorious music with exquisite arias (sung in English) that lament love unrequited and faith betrayed. Considered by some Handel’s last great opera and set in a timeless world full of passion and plots where reality blurs with fantasy, Alcina will delight the first time operagoer and the passionate fan alike.
