Riccardo Primo Händel

Recorded at Pittsburgh Opera's full dress rehearsal, January 2017 at the Pittsburgh CAPA Theater.

Everyone celebrates Isacio’s defeat: Costanza (Shannon Jennings), King Richard I (Leah de Gruyl), Pulcheria (Claudia Rosenthal), Berardo (Brian Vu) and Oronte (Taylor Raven). Their "memories of tribulation...will vanish out to sea", while "gentle, sweet affection will set our hearts aglow..."

Pittsburgh Opera: Richard the Lionheart "La memoria dei tormenti (excerpt)"

Before he wrote his famous Messiah, George Frideric Handel composed a number of beautiful operas.  He wrote Richard the Lionheart (Riccardo Primo) for the Royal Academy's 1726–27 opera season. Although it’s been performed numerous times in Europe, this will mark only its second United States performance.

King Richard I of England travels to Cyprus to retrieve his shipwrecked fiancee Costanza. But Isacio, the Governor of Cyprus, wants her for himself. Betrayal, greed, love and war- all the ingredients for a thrilling opera.

Pittsburgh Opera’s Resident Artists will dazzle you in a brand new production.
Pittsburgh Opera is pleased to partner with Chatham Baroque for Richard the Lionheart. Founded in 1990, Chatham Baroque continues to excite local, national and international audiences with dazzling technique and lively interpretations of 17th- and 18th- century music played on authentic instruments of the period.

Pittsburgh Opera is also pleased to be partnering with Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama to create new, custom sets for these performances.
