Nouvelle production - Création à Bordeaux

Dramma per musica en 3 actes HW34. Livret anonyme, adapté du texte d’Antonio Fanzaglia pour l’opéra de Riccardo Broschi L’Isola di Alcina, lui-même inspiré d’Orlando furioso de l’Arioste.
Créé à Londres, au Royal Theatre Covent Garden, le 16 avril 1735.
Editeur Bärenreiter-Verlag Kassel, Allemagne Avec le soutien du Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux et Spa

Partition majeure de Haendel, Alcina fut créée à Londres en 1735 pour la première saison du prestigieux Covent Garden. L’opéra, qui puise son inspiration dans le fameux Orlando furioso de l’Arioste, met en scène la sorcière Alcina et ses déchirements sentimentaux. De l’atmosphère
fantastique de l’intrigue, du caractère incandescent des personnages, le compositeur tire une musique stupéfiante : virtuosité vocale hallucinante, art du bel canto poussé à son paroxysme, inspiration mélodique.… Le rôle-titre est interprété par Elza van den Heever qui demeure — pour son interprétation du Compositeur dans Ariane à Naxos — l’une des plus belles voix de la saison dernière.

New production - Creation in Bordeaux

Dramma per musica in 3 acts HW34. Anonymous libretto, adapted from Antonio Fanzaglia's text for Riccardo Broschi's opera L'Isola di Alcina, itself inspired by Ariosto's Orlando furioso.
Created in London, at the Royal Theater Covent Garden, April 16, 1735.
Publisher Bärenreiter-Verlag Kassel, Germany With the support of the Grand Hôtel de Bordeaux et Spa

A major score by Handel, Alcina premiered in London in 1735 for the first season of the prestigious Covent Garden. The opera, which draws its inspiration from Ariosto's famous Orlando furioso , features the witch Alcina and her emotional heartbreaks. From the fantastic atmosphere
of the plot, the incandescent character of the characters, the composer draws astounding music: hallucinating vocal virtuosity, art of bel canto pushed to its climax, melodic inspiration.… The title role is played by Elza van den Heever who remains - for his interpretation of the Composer in Ariane à Naxos - one of the most beautiful voices of the last season.
