Händel's 'Alcina' with Petibon, Jaroussky and Prohaska from Aix-en-Provence
Concert from the Aix-en-Provence Festival. Händel's 'Alcina' is an opera seria. He used the libretto of L'isola di Alcina, an opera that was set in 1728 in Rome by Riccardo Broschi, which he acquired the year after during his travels in Italy. Partly altered for better conformity, the story was originally taken from Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso (like those of the Handel operas Orlando and Ariodante), an epic poem set in the time of Charlemagne's wars against Islam. Performers:
Patricia Petibon: Alcina.
Philippe Jaroussky: Ruggiero.
Anna Prohaska: Morgana.
Katarina Bradic: Bradamante.
Anthony Gregory: Oronte.
Krzysztof Baczyk: Melisso.
MusicAeterna. Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. Conductor and organ: Andrea Marcon.
