Handel's love duets often formed the emotional climax of his operas. In this programme, they take centre stage as expressions of farewell and reunion.

Programme

Aria's en duets from Belshazzar, Rodelinda en Giulio Cesare by George Friedrich Händel

Jeanine De Bique is one of today's most exciting rising opera stars. She recently sang in the Matthäus-Passion with Maarten Engeltjes and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. The blend of their voices and their personal chemistry gave rise to the idea of creating a programme together around Handel and his contemporaries - with Handel as the master of giving voice to human emotion. The duet Io t'abbraccio, from the second act of the opera Rodelinda and an absolute highlight of this programme, will tear many a heart apart.
