Titus L’Empéreur
St George's Church, W1S 1FX , [Venue Details]Opera Settecento and their director, Leo Duarte, return to the London Handel Festival for a modern-day London premiere of Handel's abandoned opera Titus L'Empéreur.
The incomplete libretto, modelled on Racine's tragedy Berenice, has been adapted to the conventions of opera seria to produce a text that Handel himself would no doubt have been eager to set.
For this performance, the recitatives have been newly composed in a style that adheres as closely as possible to Handel's own, while the arias are drawn from his works written before 1732, the date of Handel’s incomplete manuscript. Opera Settecento is joined by an outstanding line-up of soloists, including two recent winners of the International Handel Singing Competition, for what will no doubt be one of the most distinctive events presented at the London Handel Festival.
