Handel Furioso is a love story told through arias and duets, exploring a couple's life together from childhood to old age. Two outstanding young singers, Anna Starushkevych (Winner of the Handel Singing Competiton 2012) and Robyn Allegra Parton appear in this production, directed by Max Hoehn. Acclaimed soloist, Julian Perkins, conducts the Sounds Baroque Ensemble, following their much-admired recording of early cantatas. This is the opening production by a new company, Isle of Noise, whose aim is to create new work, freely adapted from existing repertoire and presented outside the context of a traditional opera house. The production is part-funded by an Arts Council Grant award.Music includes: "Cara Sposa" from Rinaldo. "Dove Sei" from Rodelinda. 'Caro. Dolce Amico Amplesso' from Poro. 'Due bell'alme' from Deidamia and excerpts from La Resurrezione, Il Trionfo del Tempo e del disinganno and the B Minor Trio Sonata.Videos
