Haymarket celebrates the 300th anniversary of Handel’s arresting 1724 masterpiece Tamerlano, presenting its Chicago premiere in a new, fully staged period production featuring a sensational Handelian cast, a colorful orchestra of period instruments, and sets and costumes to evoke the medieval realms of Central Asia.


Portrait of Timur (Unknown; ca. 1625)

In an emotionally charged tale of courage in the face of tyranny, internationally acclaimed tenor David Portillo portrays the brave and tragic Turkish Emperor Bajazet, imprisoned by the Tartar Emperor Tamerlano sung by “exquisite” (Opera News) countertenor Ryan Belongie. Following her triumphant 2023 Haymarket debut in La Giuditta, luminescent soprano Emily Birsan sings the role of Asteria, Bajazet’s daughter, desired as wife by both Tamerlano and his Greek ally Andronico, sung by rising star mezzo-soprano Kathleen Felty. Mezzo Emily Fons makes her much-anticipated return to Haymarket as the Princess Irene, Tamerlano’s jilted bride-to-be. Bass-baritone David Govertsen brings his “thrilling bass” (Chicago Stage Style) to the role of Leone, confidant of Andronico.


Craig Trompeter, conductor

Hailed for his “marvelous” conducting (Opera Magazine), Craig Trompeter returns to the podium to lead the acclaimed Haymarket Opera Orchestra of 18th-century period instruments, joined by world-renowned and Grammy-nominated harpsichordist Jory Vinikour.
