Throughout his career as a composer of Opera and latterly Oratorio, Handel turned to vocal duets to sum up moments of great narrative pathos and drama. In this concert Early Opera Company explores some of the finest of these duets for Soprano and Countertenor ranging from Caro! Bella! the sparkling finale to his opera, Giulio Cesare , to the delicious Welcome as the Dawn of Day from the oratorio Solomon. The programme will also include solo arias from Theodora, Esther, Solomon and Susanna.
