GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL
Libretto anonymously adapted from Antonio Salvi's Ginevra, Principessa di Scozia
Rediscovered after two centuries of neglect, this baroque gem has been widely
acclaimed as a masterpiece containing some of Handel’s most emotionally
expressive arias.
A Scottish prince is betrayed by a deceitful duke in this compelling tale of
passion, envy, greed, despair and ultimate triumph. Mezzo-soprano Susan
Graham returns in the title role, with Sonia Prina as the
scheming Polinesso, and the return of Ruth Ann Swenson as Ginevra. Veteran
director John Copley deftly negotiates the twists and turns of the story.
