The pasticcio "Garden of Earthly Delights" is based on Handel's "Rinaldo" and takes us back to the time of the First Crusade. The Christian troops under Godfrey (Goffredo) of Bouillon besiege Jerusalem, which is being defended by the Saracen king Argante. Against this background, a dazzling story about love and jealousy, deceit and disappointment unfolds: Goffredo asks Rinaldo for support in the fight and in return offers him the hand of his daughter Almirena. The sorceress Armida - Argante's lover - manages to lure Almirena and Rinaldo into her realm. There Armida tries in vain to seduce Rinaldo by deception. Not satisfied with the entanglements, Argante falls in love with Almirena...

With "Rinaldo", which premiered on February 24, 1711 in the Queen's Theater in the Haymarket, Handel achieved the first London opera coup. The plot is borrowed from the famous and widely exploited epic "Jerusalem Delivered" by the Italian Renaissance poet Torquato Tasso, theater poet Aaron Hill designed the scenario, Giacomo Rossi put it into verse. Handel had just two weeks to compose Rinaldo. Even a genius like Handel was only able to put such a wealth of outstanding music on paper in such a short time by using the so-called parody process: he took over numerous numbers from earlier works, which had been composed in particular during his recent trip to Italy. Among these parodies is the opera's most famous melody, Almirena's heartbreaking "Lascia, ch'io pianga". "Garden of Earthly Delights" dramaturgically revolves around the trials and tribulations of the protagonists in Armida's magical kingdom, as described in the second act of "Rinaldo".
