Opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel
Libretto: Carlo Sigismondo Capece after Ariosto
From the days of Charlemagne comes the tale of Orlando, a brave knight who pursued the beautiful princess Angelica. But love turns to jealousy, manipulation and madness. Will the truth be found in Hades? Can Zoroastro with his four genies really save Orlando? And why does this magical romantic tale have so much comedy?
