George Frideric Handel - Rinaldo, HWV 7, Act 1
Libretto by Giacomo Rossi, based on a scenario by Aaron Hill
The first production of Handel’s Rinaldo was, by all accounts, spectacular. David Alden’s production for the Bavarian State Opera, designed by Paul Steinberg and Buki Schiff, took up the gauntlet thrown down by Handel with the razzle-dazzle of his London première and succeeded magnificently in inventing a similarly explosive Rinaldo. A superb cast features countertenors David Daniels and David Walker, and soprano Noëmi Nadelmann. Harry Bicket leads from the harpsichord and conjures his own miracles from the pit.

Daniels before his trial and disgrace. It is sad his voice and talent were ruined by scandal.

[@PaulDawson-hi5yu]

great vocalists and orchestra. The production is distracting and makes little sense with silly anomalies.

[@TheGoblinMogra]

This is the most wonderfully strange thing I have ever seen.

[@ohiorizzler1434]

This is surely a very 'interesting' production. I would like to know the combination of psychedelic drugs that David Alden took when designing this set.

[@iulius951]

To me Handel's best opera and no wonder it was a sensation. Much recycled music (from his own stuff, mostly: he had not time to write) but one beautiful aria after another.

[@guymiklos9245]

The best recitative & aria begins at 52.10. Superb singing from Daniels.

[@trentrobinson4296]

A delicious piece from start to finish. What an apt modern production. One to watch again and again.

[@PaulHummerman]

hopeless lipsynching, great conducting, weird adaptation, fine singing, eternal music.

[@metteholm4833]

Daniels is truly a good actor!

[@hugoaraujo3]

I always lose it during the cheerleading.

[@stefanamann]

[@user-si8nk2lk1z]

Спасибо! Просто шедевр!

[@m.p.3014]

Absolut fantastisch! Die Inszenierung ist ein Traum, völlig verrückt. Barockoper im besten Sinne.

[@pasqualepicone435]

Grazie mille!

[@ramonvi1010]

Spectacular!! thanks💖

[@alexli5109]

Bravo, I actually had to watch it, not only to listen...

[@VisitorOf22]

I just fell in love with Noëmi Nadelmann.... Such a voice... And damn such a beautiful woman 😍

[@danoslehoy]

Y en que momento canta Lascia chio pianga ??

[@kitebabe05]

Wunderbare Stimme vom Deborah York, aber das Bühnenbild ist furchtbar und fantasielos. absolute Talfahrt in Sachen Kultur. Am Besten man schließt die Augen und geniesst die Stimmen und Musik und macht Kopfkino.
