Filled with glorious arias and wonderful ensembles, this high-spirited work is one of Handel’s comic masterpieces. Arsace is one of three suitors vying for the hand of Partenope, the highly desirable Queen of Naples. But Arsace’s former lover, Rosmira, will go to any lengths to scupper his attempt – even disguising herself as a man.
A world leader in Handel productions, ENO unites director Christopher Alden with an outstanding cast of Handelian singers: soprano Rosemary Joshua in the title role, tenor John Mark Ainsley as Emilio and mezzo-sopranos Christine Rice and Patrica Bardon.
