Spoken

when Christian warriors prepare to liberate Jerusalem from the power of the Saracens, their plans are thwarted by the opposing king Argante and the sorceress Armida. It hits the crusader Rinaldo particularly hard when his lover Almirena is kidnapped by Armida and the magician in the form of Almirena tries to seduce him. Will Rinaldo be able to resist these magical powers?

Handel first presented himself as an opera composer in London in 1711 with Rinaldo . And so he did everything in his power to ensnare his audience with his music, creating one of his richest scores here. Jens-Daniel Herzog's production, which has already sold out theaters in Dortmund, Bonn and Zurich, approaches the old story with a finely ironic wink, without betraying the sincerity of the emotions that drive Handel's characters to superficial entertainment.

English

Als sich christliche Recken anschicken, Jerusalem aus der Macht der Sarazenen zu befreien, werden ihre Pläne gehörig vom gegnerischen König Argante und der Zauberin Armida durchkreuzt. Vor allem den Kreuzritter Rinaldo trifft es besonders hart, wenn seine Geliebte Almirena von Armida entführt wird und die Magierin in Gestalt Almirenas ihn zu verführen trachtet. Wird Rinaldo diesen Zaubermächten widerstehen können?

Mit Rinaldo stellte sich Händel 1711 erstmals in London als Opernkomponist vor. Und so setzte er alles daran, sein Publikum mit seiner Musik zu umgarnen, wenn er hier eine seiner reichhaltigsten Partituren schuf. Jens-Daniel Herzogs Inszenierung, die bereits in Dortmund, Bonn und Zürich für ausverkaufte Theater sorgte, nähert sich der alten Geschichte mit einem fein-ironischen Augenzwinkern, ohne die Aufrichtigkeit der Emotionen, die Händels Figuren umtreiben, an oberflächliche Unterhaltung zu verraten.
