And now you know why Handel was considered the best dramatic composer of his time.

[@non-resortthailand4548]

Max Cencic & Franco Fagioli are top absolutely.

[@riohenry6382]

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been released on dvd (with subtitles). Anyone with me ? Enough user support can make miracles happen

[@libtucker]

Yes, would love to see this with Italian subs.

[@user-dd7cp5lb4z]

Magnificent

[@sandrafailla3586]

che incantesimo !

[@user-ol1ib1ss2b]

The battaglia sinfonia near the beginning is incredibly magnificent!

[@h.k9697]

Handel was the greatest composer of dramatic, choral and vocal music of all time. His operas are a delight.

[@valtergilenardi2639]

La Sigla della Champions League for example. 😊❤ Handel is Divine ✨🎇🌌🙏❤

[@bobbyoldsmith9425]

The voices are lovely. No cringing here. Like in many opera performances lately.

[@jcui5007]

[@mikeg2924]

Speaking of miracles, these voices are, well, pretty miraculous.

Perfetto!!!!

[@pedromontano9387]

Hermoso

[@ssoomee]

As always, I'm grateful, but no subtitles? I usually like to read along to what they are saying as well as appreciating the beautiful music!

[@rossklatte7073]

Yes, some of us have grown accustomed to following the Plot (such as it may be) over the last 50 or 60 years of opera telecasts by reading subtitles. 2½ hours is a long time to go along in the old-timey clueless way.

[@tonyvillamotte4339]

Fer goodness' sake! Opera librettos are available online in translation to 897,879 languages, so just google it!!! How computer illiterate can you get?

[@JacquelineLanceTenor]

@@tonyvillamotte4339 well it does take away from it a bit when you have to stare at a separate tab or separate device the entire time. But please, more rude comments from you!

Where's Act II??

[@jimmywalsh6701]

👌👏

[@christianwouters6764]

Why this obession of dressing baroque opera in modern clothing? It's a cliché for at least 40 years already.

[@johnmanno2052]

Music is fun. Staging is not. It's supposed to be a.... battle?!? Why the f*** is everyone STANDING AROUND?!??! *Sigh* Modern ideas about staging opera kinda suck

[@mimigoodcat4950]

They could have put more effort in the design for the enemy warriors.

[@tonyvillamotte4339]

Another idiotic baroque opera staging. It's a pity, really, because the performance itself is so good. Handel - nor most if not all - Italian opera composer-impresarios would never have used ballet like this; it was a French thing and as many things as Handel picked up from the French composition-wise, ballet was not one because it was too expensive to hire extras with talent other than walking onstage, doing a simple mime if needed when there, then walk offstage again. The kind of hopping around we see here doesn't even belong in French opera of the day because that kind of aerobic exercise would have been deemed inelegant in the extreme.

[@megenberg8]

alright. waited too long for the lead to appear. the 20th c dress is distracting, pedestrian, drab, and entirely uninspiring, and as such, is inconducive to joy and detracts from pleasure (but that might be just moi)! i wish that this trend would end... its taking decades! the artistic merits yet stand but not at all as it could be! what is nice about the video here is Cencic. the costume and manner is perfect and quite amazing! i could NOT KEEP THE SMILE FROM MY FACE ! ! it is truly a wonderful thing to be uplifted during an opera! Cencic has a great way of making opera entertaining and alot of fun!

[@blairribeca5858]

Opera staging is the last place the hideous modern soul can express itself in this art form.They call it being "creative" so we must all genuflect.We are lucky they haven't yet attacked the music in the same spirit but just give them time.Check out Opera Atelier up in Toronto;they keep the ol'time religion.

[@h.k9697]

Shut up, man. Handel was not Italian, and his operas are very different from other Italian operaists. Handel had a unique style, a mixed synthesis of Germany, Italy and France. Handel learned a lot from the Hamburg opera. You don't write like he was Italian. Handel set himself apart from his contemporaries by employing choreographed instrumental music to complement and reinforce the emotional impact of his operas. Of his fifty-three operas, no fewer than fourteen -- including ten written for the London stage -- feature dances (french influence)

[@maitestorchi2497]

Pas pu regarder plus de quelques interminables minutes, l'ennui m'a rattrapée, désolée....

[@jesuslozanofuentes5123]

Y eso? No será el momento de tu vida? Está música es perfecta como es, nosotros somos los que no coincidimos en el tiempo y el espacio con la energía con la que se creó, el mayor privilegio de un ser humano es saber para que vino a este mundo identificando sus talentos poniendolos al servicio de los otros, Handel lo consiguió ahora la pregunta es, y nosotros?

[@georgiodegrenoble8675]

Comme toi, la mise en scène est tellement ... que l'ennui contamine tout le reste.

[@ledude4146]

Excellent

[@annefrank1]

Dear Opera House, I'd be happy if you're playing my new opera. it's 'Anne Frank opera', 'Evgeny Van Gogh' opera, '9/11' opera. I'd like to be conductor of my own music, because it's all written by me, the music and the libretto. I'm granddaughter of Verdi, Beethoven, Mozart Chopin, Prokofiev and Tschaikovsky. I am also a great pianist and singer. Julia Sergeevna Grigorian Grimaldi Monegasse Windsor Habsburg Bourbon Thurn and Taxis

[@StefanHabischKomponist]

Its played like Rameau but its Handel. Too fast, and too hard like other things in this time. I know many Artists today have Problems to play German Composers.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

amateurish choreography

[@chriscarson2547]

I'm sorry but the counter tenor as a whole thing just needs to go away. Get me a trousered female alto please.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Yeah, they can lose the trouser roles, too - just transpose them to the tenor voice, they're a distraction being sung by a dame or a counter tenor
