Georg Friedrich Händels Alcina zählt zu den bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Musiktheaterwerken des Komponisten. Schon die Uraufführung im Jahr 1735 im neu errichteten Covent Garden Theatre gestaltete sich triumphal: Die brillanten, musikalisch wie technisch anspruchsvollen Solo-Partien, Chorszenen sowie die überaus wechselhafte Handlung mit Verkleidungs- und Verwandlungselementen rissen das Publikum zu Begeisterungsstürmen hin und erweisen sich heute, mehr als 250 Jahre nach der Erstaufführung, als unverändert effektvoll. Im November 2010 erklingt Händels Alcina zum ersten Mal im Haus am Ring.
