Handel wrote some of his most beautiful and characterful music for Rodelinda. Hatred and despair, thwarted love and resentment, and a fierce desire for revenge all combine to make a narrative of extraordinary power and potency. Tonight, the Metropolitan Opera New York brings us a celebration of Handel with archival excerpts from Met performances, in honour of the 300th anniversary of Rodelinda.
