Agrippina Händel

Approved

If a spite comes
Poppaea (Stefanie True) has been falsely told that Otho will give her up in exchange for the throne. Her love for him starts to turn into fury and she promises to take revenge if the rumour turns out to be true. Conducted by Robert Howarth and directed by Walter Sutcliffe.

EXTRACT | AGRIPPINA ‘Se giunge un dispetto’ Handel - The Grange Festival

With her husband apparently drowned at sea, a scheming empress secures the throne for her son from another marriage. But the commander of the army has other ideas, and then the emperor returns, very much alive.

The inspired vision of director Walter Sutcliffe and designer Jon Bausor brings to life the humour and egomania of one of opera’s most outrageous leading women. The youthful Handel packed Agrippina with the full range of his astonishing imagination, setting a libretto at once hilarious, moving and clever. Handel’s music is bursting with originality and fun, as well as carefully considered moments of eye-watering beauty.
