Queen Rodelinda is faced with an impossible choice: will she marry the Duke, who just usurped her husband’s throne and left him for dead—or refuse the villain and see him murder her
only son?

Political maneuverings, romantic intrigues, and ever-shifting alliances power the plot in what is considered one of Handel’s finest and most moving dramas. And Baroque fans will rejoice because the music is dazzling, combining vocal pyrotechnics and melodies that brilliantly reveal every emotion. Handel created many memorable heroines but none more so than Rodelinda. Outrage, grief, cunning, and love—you’ll hear and see them all in this multifaceted leading role embraced by legendary sopranos, including Dame Joan Sutherland and Renée Fleming.

Rodelinda, regina de' Longobardi, HWV 19 by Händel, From (2017/2017), Directed by Tom Diamond,, Conductor Gary Thor Wedow, Musical Arts Center, Bloomington, United States
