Handel's Berenice Returns to Covent Garden Thursday 7 February 2019 Handel’s Berenice returns to Covent Garden ©2018 ROH. Image by AKA. Handel’s Berenice returns to Covent Garden in a new co-production by The Royal Opera and London Handel Festival, nearly 282 years after its 1737 premiere at the Covent Garden Theatre, a forerunner to the Royal Opera House. Staged in the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre, the West’s End’s newest and most intimate theatre, the new production is directed by Adele Thomas and sung in a new English translation by Selma Dimitrijevic. For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/for/press-and-media Berenice opens the 2019 London Handel Festival, which explores the theme of ‘Handel’s Divas’, tracing the lives of the female singers who performed and inspired the composer’s music. London Handel Festival Musical Director Laurence Cummings makes his Royal Opera debut conducting the musicians of the London Handel Orchestra, alongside a cast led by British soprano Claire Booth, also making her Royal Opera debut in the title role. The opera’s story pits two strong women against princes and each other in a battle of love and politics, with Adele Thomas’s production placing the drama and intrigue of the plot in a theatre as two divas go head to head backstage. Berenice opens at the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre on 27 March 2019, with subsequent performances on 29 and 30 March and 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 April 2019. The 2019 London Handel Festival runs from 27 March to 29 April 2019. ENDS NOTES TO EDITORS 1. For further information or interview requests please contact Matthew Horne 2.

  • Handel's Ariostan Heroines: with Particular Reference to Ginevra
    Handel’s Ariostan Heroines: With Particular Reference to Ginevra, Principessa di Scozia David Kimbell Towards the end of the operatic phase of his career, Handel composed three works on episodes from Ariosto's Orlando furioso; all of them, Orlando, Ariodante and Alcina, were written and staged in London between 1732 and 1735. (Table One) TABLE ONE Handel's Ariosto operas ORLANDO Composed October-November 1732; Premiere 27th January 1733, King's Theatre, Haymarket - text adapted from L'Orlando, overo La gelosa pazzia, by Carlo Sigismondo Capece, music by Domenico Scarlatti, Rome 1711 ARIODANTE Composed August-October 1734; Premiere 8th January 1735, Covent Garden - text adapted from Ginevra, Principessa di Scozia, by Antonio Salvi, music by Giacomo Antonio Perti, Villa di Pratolino 1708 ALCINA Composed February-April 1735; Premiere 16th April 1735, Covent Garden - text adapted from L'isola d'Alcina, librettist unknown, music by Riccardo Broschi, Rome 1728 These were critical years for Handel. Support in London for Italian opera was proving much less assured than it had seemed back in the years around 1720, when the so-called Royal Academy of Music had been launched to provide opera of the very highest quality at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket. Relationships among artists and patrons had been soured by personal and professional jealousies. During the 1733-34 season Handel found himself competing with a rival ensemble, which came to be known as the Opera of the Nobility; a year later, for the 1734-35 season, the Opera of the Nobility, with most of the best Italian singers now on its books, was able to take over the Haymarket theatre, the scene of all Handel's earlier operatic triumphs in London.
