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.

This winter, Diana Amsterdam's CARNIVAL ROUND THE CENTRAL FIGURE brings the macabre back to New York City. In a staging by Karen Kohlhaas reminiscent of the carnal exorbitance of carnivale's heyday, featuring a cast of characters pulled straight from the murky depths of the human psyche. Carnival is a hilarious, bizarre, and poignant story of the meaning of death, of dying with dignity, and the ancient dilemma of living for a life after death. Presented by IRT Theater (Kori Rushton, Artistic Director).
