SUMMARY:Handel's Leading Ladies
DESCRIPTION:In 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene and at its centre stood Handel. \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nConcerto Grosso Op.6 No.6\nTorni omai la pace from Tolomeo\nNo\, più soffrir non voglio from Alessandro  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nPrelude from Il Lamento d’Olimpia  \nGeorge Frideric Handel\nFalse Imagine from Ottone  \nGiovanni Bononcini\nDifese mi giurasti from Astianatte  \nJohn Butt director\nNardus Williams soprano \nIn 18th-century London\, the operatic stage was as much a site of social spectacle as of musical innovation\, shaped by star performers\, fashionable audiences and the ambitions of a rapidly expanding cultural scene. At its centre stood Handel\, whose works were brought vividly to life by leading international singers and musicians\, two of whom were italian rivals\, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni. \nFuelled by public intrigue and partisan audiences\, their famed rivalry became part of London’s cultural fabric\, as did the striking contrast between their voices: Cuzzoni’s pure\, expressive lyricism set against Bordoni’s brilliance and virtuosity. \nTickets: £6 – £30 (+ booking fee) \nIf you have access requirements\, please contact info@dunedin-consort.org.uk and we will reserve seating for you. \n\nIncluded in Edinburgh subscription season\, save up to 20% when buying 2+ concerts at the same time – book online at www.thequeenshall.net\, in person at The Queen’s Hall box office\, or call 0131 668 2019
