ARIODANTE/ HAENDEL-TRAILER. OPÉRA NATIONAL DE PARIS. FESTIVAL DELLA VALLE D´ITRIA 1015

 


How sweet life could be at the Scottish court! The king’s daughter, Ginevra, and Prince Ariodante love each other. Their marriage is soon to be celebrated. 

But this is without taking into account Polinesso’s diabolical plan. Thirsting for desire and power, he accuses the young woman of infidelity to tarnish her reputation and eliminate his rival.

Inspired by an episode from Ariosto’s Orlando furioso, George Frideric Handel created this opera seria at Covent Garden in 1735, brimming with sumptuous arias such as the famous lamento “Scherza infida”.

A connoisseur of the Baroque repertoire, Robert Carsen explores the characters’ psychology and reflects on power with a host of kilts, Celtic dances and nods to the current British royal family.
