Fabulous Handel Festival: Rinaldo inspires in Karlsruhe!
The 47th International Handel Festival has started in Karlsruhe and inspire with a furious premiere of the opera "Rinaldo" in the rarely played version of 1731. The staging, directed by Hinrich Horstkotte and the conduct of Rinaldo Alessandrini, took place in the sold-out Baden State Theater. The audience rewarded the performance with enthusiastic applause, while the staging impressed with strong images and theater illusions. Particularly noteworthy are the flying birds, sea snakes and a dragon that enriched the stage design, as well as the opulent costumes that the audience kidnapped into the world of Handel's opera.
The main roles were worn by Lawrence Zazzo as Rinaldo and Valeria Girardello as Almirena, which confirmed with their virtuoso vocals. The orchestra of the German Handel soloists under the direction of Alessandrini showed precise articulation and dynamic game, which made the performance a real experience. The Handel Festival lasts until March 9, 2025 and not only offer further performances, but also concerts and musical discoveries. The Farinelli competition for countertenors is also held for the first time.
