Radamisto
What's it about?
OPERA SERIA IN THREE ACTS LIBRETTO BY NICOLA FRANCESCO HAYM With the Royal Academy of Music, founded in 1719, George Frideric Handel placed his London opera career on an entrepreneurial foundation that was at least moderately successful in the medium term. Now it was a matter of composing one opera success after another for the King's Theatre on Haymarket, and Handel's very first opera for the Academy was a complete success: With tragic love stories, surprising twists and turns, and virtuosic arias, Radamisto contained everything that made the opera heart of the time beat faster. Premiered in the spring of 1720, the work was revived in the same year, with the title role now taken over by a singer who had just arrived in England: the star castrato Senesino. For him, Handel enriched the score with further arias. The same happened when the two prima donnas Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni appeared in this opera in later performances. Thus, the total of four versions of Radamisto are an almost inexhaustible reservoir of brilliant arias - one can be curious about the selection that Benjamin Bayl and the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra will bring to the Theater an der Wien.
