No one can resist Alcina. She has lured many lovers to their demise. But when Ruggiero falls
under her spell, his fiancée Bradamante dons a disguise that will leave everyone questioning
whether, in an age of reason, love can conquer all. Friend or foe? Wife or husband? Lover or
beast? On Alcina’s magic island, nothing is as it seems.
Wild fantasies and dark desires come to life in Richard Jones’s intoxicating new staging of
Handel’s fantastical opera. The magnificent Lisette Oropesa returns to Covent Garden in the title
role, joining a stunning international cast.
