Franco Fagioli, a “star” among today’s countertenors to perform a little-known work by Handel.

After  Berenice , we stay in Egypt this time to follow the adventures of Tolomeo. The work predates Berenice by a few years and was premiered at the King's Theater in the spring of 1728 with a cast bringing together several star singers of the time, including Faustina Bordoni, Francesca Cuzzoni and the castrato Francesco Bernardi, known as Il Senesino. A real "star" at the time, Il Senesino created several title roles by Handel including, in addition to that of Tolomeo , those of Flavio, Giulio Cesare, Tamerlano, Rodelinda, Scipione, Admeto, Siroé, Orlando… Like many of Handel's operas, the work had a long dormant period before being rediscovered in 1938 in Göttingen. Argentinian countertenor Franco Fagioli, who plays the title role here, is also a "star" of this demanding repertoire where his virtuosity has been shining for several years now.
