And Iestyn Davies mentions "Alto Giove" and a piece by Hasse in this article from the Guardian.

I am not sure if the arias were listed in the program, but I will check mine when I get home tonight.
I am going to see "The Exterminating Angel" as well as "Farinelli and the King" so I will get a double dose of Davies.

I can tell you what the arias were in the London production. There's no guarantee they'll be exactly the same on Broadway, but I'd be surprised if there were many changes.
Ho Perso il Caro Ben (Handel, from Parnasso in Festa)
Alto Giove (Porpora, from Polifemo)
Fra Tempeste Funeste a Quest'alma (Handel, from Rodelinda)
Generoso Risvegliati o Core (Hasse, from Cleofide)
Venti, Turbini Prestate (Handel, from Rinaldo)
Cara Sposa (Handel, from Rinaldo)
Lascia Ch'io Pianga (Handel, from Rinaldo)
