Rodelinda, regina de' Longobardi, HWV 19

London

United Kingdom

The throne has been usurped. The exiled king, Bertarido, is now believed dead. As Rodelinda mourns her husband, Grimoaldo the usurper moves to make her his queen - yet all is not as it seems... 

Everyone has a plan, but only one can rule. First performed in London in 1725, this production by Director Jo Davies and Designer Joanna Parker shows us how the issues explored in Handel’s Rodelinda still resonate today. The RCM look forward to presenting this operatic gem under the baton of Michael Rosewell.
