What it’s about. In Tamerlano, Handel defied rules both written and tacit—offering a main role to a mature tenor at a time when the castrato voice dominated; and not shying away from shocking scenes that other composers approached hesitantly, like suicide. Pierre Audi’s elegant, minimalist staging allows an all-star cast of singers to highlight the work’s many dramatic elements, proving that Baroque opera can still move and thrill us as it did 300 years ago!
Who’s in it. Handel's Tamerlano stars Christophe Dumaux, Jeremy Ovenden, Sophie Karthäuser and Delphine Galou, among others.
