Opera

Georg Friedrich Händel

Ariodante

18 Mar, 18

Musical conductor: William Christie

William Christie, the specialist in Baroque music, and his established Les Arts Florissants, return to the Teatro Real with one of the jewels of this repertory; one of the most delicate of Händel’s works: Ariodante. Inspired by the epic poem, Orlando furioso, by Ludovico Ariosto, the score has some of the most difficult da capo arias by the German composer.

Ambition, betrayal, lies and jealousy trigger the turbulent events destined to destroy the love between Ariodante and Ginevra. In the end, truth prevails and the love triumphs.
