Long before Harry Potter, tales of supernatural spells and bewitching temptresses captured the imagination of audiences. And no one did it better than Handel. The composer takes us on a magical mystery tour to an island ruled by Alcina and Morgana—evil-sister sorceresses. Alcina seduces every knight she encounters. But when she tires of them (which she always does), she transforms her victims into everything from rocks to roaring lions. However, the tables are turned when Alcina finally falls in love—and the man she wants rejects her!
