Handel’s “Alessandro” in Versailles

→Love, power, jealousy and betrayal: with Alessandro, Handel paints a flamboyant portrait of a conqueror in search of glory and truth. Written for the greatest stars of its day, this virtuoso opera is reborn at the Opéra Royal de Versailles in a production as spectacular as it is refined.

Created for the greatest voices of Handel’s London, Alessandro weaves together historical fresco, amorous rivalries and vocal virtuosity at its zenith. Under the baton of George Petrou, this production brings together an exceptional cast led by Max Emanuel Cenčić. An immersion in an opera that is as spectacular as it is revealing of the dramatic genius of George Frideric Handel.

An opera written for stars
