HANDEL – ORLANDO
Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall
Handel’s Orlando – written 1733 was originally more an artistic than a popular success but is now recognised as one of Handel’s towering masterpieces. Handel’s great music, featuring the famous mad-scene sung by Orlando, include the first composition set in 5/8 time, deserves a starry cast. Here, that is exactly what we’ve put together: there are five solo singers:
Orlando – Anna Huntley
Angelica – Carolyn Sampson
Dorinda – Bethany Seymour
Medoro – Helen Charlston
Zoroastro – Matthew Brook
Director – Peter Seymour
plus our usual ‘A team’ band.
in association with York Early Music Festival
