Teseo

THE MUSIC:

Premiered at the Queen’s Theatre in London, this was the 28-year-old Handel at his most enthralling. There are no tenor or bass voices, and all roles (both male and female) are sung by sopranos, mezzo-sopranos or counter-tenors. Teseo has been staged only once in the U.S. during the Boston Early Music Festival in 1985.

THE DRAMA:

We find the wicked Medea tormented by jealousy, and resorting to her infamous magic spells to attempt the ultimate vengeance while riding a chariot drawn by dragons. Come see Handel’s storytelling at its most dramatic.
