Allan Clayton stars in Oliver Mears’s gripping new staging of Handel’s brooding tale of faith and sacrifice, conducted by Laurence Cummings.

Jephtha's belief in God is unshakeable. But when he unwittingly vows to sacrifice his own daughter, he will test the bonds of faith – and family – to the limit. 

Continuing our odyssey into Handel's Covent Garden works, this gripping new staging by Oliver Mears sheds powerful new light on a timeless biblical tale. Allan Clayton (Peter Grimes) returns to Covent Garden in the title role, joined by a largely British cast featuring Alice Coote, Brindley Sherratt and Jennifer France, with musical direction from baroque specialist Laurence Cummings.
