Bristol Baroque Festival: Handel And The Rival Queens: The Early Opera Company
Two feisty modern-day sopranos, aided by one of the rising-star conductors in the Baroque opera world, take on the roles of the great rival divas of Handel’s London operas of the 1720s, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. So notorious was their competition that a play was written about them, and even Handel’s best attempts to provide them with precisely equal parts could not prevent their animosity boiling over into a fight on stage!
This programme will include overtures, arias and duets from Handel’s Ottone, Flavio, Alessandro, Admeto, Riccardo Primo and Siroe, Hasse’s Cleofide, Porpora’s Polifemo and Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera, as well as readings from contemporary letters, newspapers and other literary sources.
