Handel's Imeneo

Loyalty and gratitude collide in Handel's penultimate opera

Handel's Imeneo

Capturing the immediacy of the story and the lyricism of the original Italian libretto, Cambridge Handel Opera’s staged production follows Handel’s own first foray into opera by performing in two languages. Gloriously tuneful and enlivened with duets and choruses, Handel’s rarely performed penultimate opera is edgy, intimate, and bittersweet.
