RINALDO

Heroic glory, sirens and sorcery: are these the hachneyed preoccupations of 18th century opera? Robert Carsen suggest the idea of an escapist fantasies of a hormonal boy....In his revived 2011 stagin of Rinaldo Handel's opera is played out at one remove. Torquato Tasso's story of love, magic and Christian victory uring the first Crusade becomes the daydream of a bullied schoolboy plotting revenge.
