Ezio by Händel, Du (2009/2009), Chef d'orchestre Attilio Cremonesi, Theater an der Wien, Vienne, Autriche

Handel's Dramma per musica in three acts was written towards the end of 1731 and was his after Siroe and Poro third opera based on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio. Metastasio, who came from Rome and was the son of a greengrocer, was the most successful librettist of his time, and his models were set to music by the most famous composers. In Ezio, he shows a hero's path from fame after battle to deep fall into dungeon for high treason to final rescue through love.
