A child’s imagination gives rise to knights, sorcerers, monsters, and magic in this new take on the most fantastical of Handel’s operas. With hit tunes, coloratura showstoppers, and battling countertenors, Rinaldo has something for everyone. Beethoven called Handel “the greatest composer that ever lived,” and works like the “Hallelujah Chorus” have cemented his place in history. But his dramatic genius was never more on display than in his over 40 operas, of which Rinaldo ranks as one of the greatest.
