Opera Settecento

Titus L’Empéreur

A Handelian World Premiere

Steffen Jespersen, Rachel Redmond, Ciara Hendrick, Hugo Hymas, Lucija Varsic, Edward Grint

Titus L’Empéreur
The incomplete libretto, modelled on Racine's tragedy Berenice, has been adapted to the conventions of opera seria to produce a text that Handel himself would no doubt have been eager to set.

For this performance, the recitatives have been newly composed in a style that adheres as closely as possible to Handel's own, while the arias are drawn from his works written before 1732, the date of Handel’s incomplete manuscript. Opera Settecento is joined by an outstanding line-up of soloists, including two recent winners of the International Handel Singing Competition, for what will no doubt be one of the most distinctive events presented at the London Handel Festival.
