New Belgrade Opera and the Opera and Theatre Madlenianum are to meet the need for baroque repertoire on domestic music scene in October and November this year with the premiere performance of the baroque opera Orlando, by the composer George Frideric Handel.  Setting of the opera Orlando means a particular refreshing and the exclusivity for Belgrade music scene. The vocal ensemble consists of young, talented singers from the country and abroad, and the baroque orchestra on the historical instruments is conducted with cembalo by Predrag Gosta.

Opus of the baroque composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) consists of more than forty operas. Among them are the operas Orlando, Ariodante i Alcina, composed on the text of the poem Furious Orlando by the Italian writer Ludovico Ariosto. Handel’s opera Orlando is an adaptation of the eponymous opera from 1711, by the Italian creator Carlo Capeci. 

Orlando is composed as a serious Italian opera (opera seria) and the premiere was held 27th January 1733 at the Royal Theatre in London. The work of art had been performed only ten times and an aristocrat after the performance wrote: I have never been to better nor better performed music work- the famous castrato Senesino was the main actor and the other Italians were singing very emotionally but the audience was still in so small number that I do not believe they collected enough money even to pay all musicians in the orchestra.      

Handel’s work had been forgotten for almost 200 years, until 1922 when it was performed again. The interest in this stage performance was renewed in the mid of last century and since then Orlando has been a part of opera houses’ repertoires all over the world, so now Belgrade audience will also get the opportunity to enjoy the interpretation of this masterpiece of a great baroque master, the contemporary of Bach.
