In the Realms of Sorrow
Il delirio amoroso HWV 99
Armida abbandonata HWV 105
Ero e Leandro HWV 150
Agrippina condotta a morire HWV 110
In the Realms of Sorrow reunited award-winning director Adele Thomas and renowned Handelian Laurence Cummings in a rare opportunity to see staged performances of four of Handel’s most soul-searching cantatas.
“A ferocious and fearless start to the London Handel Festival” ★★★★ The Guardian
Fusing exquisite singing and dance theatre, In the Realms of Sorrow offered a fascinating insight into young Handel’s early capacity for depicting the complexity of the human soul. Seen together, the four cantatas created a raw and alluring journey into love, obsession, delusion and ecstasy performed at the evocative Stone Nest in the heart of London's Theatreland.
“Handel brought to life.” ★★★★★ The Times
The production featured brand-new music by acclaimed composer Héloïse Werner.
