HANDEL RICCARDO PRIMO, RE D'INGHILTERRA HWV23

Fully staged production in collaboration with the
Royal College of Music International Opera School.

Laurence Cummings conductor
James Robert Carson director
Adam Wiltshire designer
London Handel Orchestra
Adrian Butterfield leader

Richard I is to marry Costanza, a Spanish princess, but she is
shipwrecked near Cyprus. Her rescuer, Isacio, falls for her
and plans to keep her and send Richard his daughter Pulcheria
instead - notwithstanding that she is already betrothed to Oronte,
Prince of Syria. There follows the usual confusion, cross-dressing
and conflict that make for a classic Handelian night out. Written
for the 1727 Royal Academy season, Riccardo Primo was also a
nod to the new king, George II, who fancied himself as another
great British military leader.
