Synopsis:
lacrosse sticks and flying bicycles bring contemporary chic to this timeless fantasy of warriors and witches in Robert Carsen's fun-filled transformation of Handel's first London triumph.

Conducting from the keyboard just as Handel himself did, Ottavio Dantone leads a youthful cast of today's luminaries in the dramatic art of Baroque opera; the 'affecting' Sonia Prina, the 'unadorned intensity' of Annett Fritsch and 'fire-breathing flair' (The Observer) of Brenda Rae.

Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
