The complexity of his soul is beautifully embodied in Handel's music, which allows human emotion to shine through every note. Today, Orlando is performed by mezzo-soprano Katarina Bradić, accompanied by the orchestra Les Talens Lyriques, conducted by Christophe Rousset at the Théâtre du Châtelet .
In 3 acts, Handel invites us to reflect on love and honor in a dramatic and lyrical opera, in Italian with French and English surtitles. A must-see for lovers of Baroque opera and classical music! The Théâtre du Châtelet, a Parisian institution, continues to introduce audiences to revisited classical works, and Orlando is the perfect example of this ambitious approach.
