MUSIC BY GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL
LIBRETTO BY ANTONIO SALVI AFTER LUDOVICO ARIOSTO
Jealousy. Treachery. True love put to the test.
Prince Ariodante is set to marry his beloved Ginevra until scheming rivals threaten their joy. Deceptions abound and honor is called into question—will betrayal and shame consume the happy couple, or will truth and love prevail? From aching, heart-rending laments to dazzling displays of vocal virtuosity, Handel’s score traces a journey from devotion to heartbreak and back again.
Sung in Italian with English captions projected above the stage.
