Handel Opera Cycle

Presented by Penny Gore. The Handel Opera Cycle reaches Handel's penultimate Italian opera - Imeneo - which he called an 'operetta', most likely because it is a very short work - one of the shortest he ever wrote. The story centres on Tirinto, who loves Rosmene, and the hero Imeneo who has saved her life and also is in love with her. Who will win her in the end? Handel: Imeneo Tirinto ...... Ann Hallenberg (mezzo-soprano) Rosmene ...... Johanna Stojkovic (soprano) Imeneo ...... Kay Stiefermann (bass) Clomiri ...... Siri Karoline Thornhill (soprano) Argenio ...... Locky Chung (bass) Cologne Vocal Ensemble Capella Augustina Andreas Spering (conductor).
