Released in 2018, Handel: Arminio is a notable film directed by George Petrou, running about 168 minutes.

What it’s about. Max Emanuel Cencic excels with his celebrated and award-winning production of George Frideric Handels masterpiece Arminio at the International Handel Festival Karlsruhe. The remarkable counter-tenor Cencic, who dedicates himself to the revival and performance of the music of the 18th century, demonstrates once more that Baroque singing can be both technically brilliant and at the same time modern and emotionally engaging. His enchanting staging of Arminio is the revival of the heroic story. When premiered in 1737 at Londons Covent Garden Arminio strangely received only six performances, despite being praised as a miracle and in every respect excellent and vastly pleasing by contemporaries.

Who’s in it. Handel: Arminio stars Gaia Petrone, Lauren Snouffer, Juan Sancho and Pavel Kudinov, among others.
