Description:
Xerxes," famous for its beautiful aria "Ombra mai fu," was performed live at the Frankfurt Opera in January 2017 by up-and-coming director Tilman Köhler with a fresh cast in a stylish new production! Xerxes (Selse)", based on the libretto by N. Minert, which was first performed in London in 1738. Set in ancient Persia, it depicts a story of love and jealousy between five men and women caused by a lustful king, Xerxes (Cersei). At the time, corruption and scandal were rampant in the upper classes of England. Handel reflected his satirical intentions in this opera, but it was not well received by the audience at the time of its premiere. This production is a new production by up-and-coming German director Tilman Köhler. Koehler also adapts Handel's humorous spirit to the modern age, using costumes and images to create a modern production that incorporates irony and a critical spirit. The beautiful aria "Ombra mai fu," known as Handel's Largo, is sung by the lovesick Serse at the beginning of the first act.In the lead role, the Persian King Cerce, is French mezzo-soprano Gael Arquez, who has earned a reputation for her baroque operas. As Serse's brother Arsamene, American countertenor Lawrence Zazo, and as Romilda, Serse's lover and love interest, rising star Elizabeth Sutfeh, who just made her debut at the 2018 Glyndebourne Festival as Zoffy in "Knight of the Roses". And German mezzo-soprano Tanya Ariane Baumgartner as Amastre, Serse's fiancée who also plays a male lead. And as Atalanta, Romilda's sister who has feelings for Alsamene, the young British soprano Louise Alder, who was named Young Star of the International Opera Awards 2017, is a fresh face.
