The Orchestra of the Early Opera Company join the Jette Parker Young Artists to perform Handel’s Arminio, first staged at the Royal Opera in 1737. A dazzling cast and creative team bring Handel’s opera to life.
German leader Arminio attempts to repel a Roman invasion of his country, while his wife Tusnelda resists the passions of the Roman general Varo. Duty to family and country are tested to the limit in this brilliantly scored opera, composed by Handel in the same year as Giustino and Berenice.
