‘Deep in My Breast there rises a vision of contentment. It gives my heart new hope’. Irene, act 2, scene 5 from Handel’s Tamerlano HWV 18.

CHOC to stage Handel's Tamerlano
Handel’s most intense psychological drama, Tamerlano (1724) is presented in a fully staged production by Cambridge Handel Opera Company. It tracks the anguished love of all its characters through an obsessive power-struggle between two intransigent rulers, to a tragic end. See Julian Perkins, CHOC’s Artistic Director, play his arrangement of the first two movements of the overture on a Kirckman harpsichord in Handel’s music room here.

CHOC’s production of Tamerlano was originally due to be staged in April 2020. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the performances have been postponed until April 5, 6, 8 and 9 2022. These will start at 7pm and will take place at The Great Hall, The Leys School, Cambridge. There will also be a Study Afternoon from 2pm to 5pm on April 9.

Details of how to book tickets will be available in Autumn 2021. Please keep checking back for details.
