Starring countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, “Rinaldo” is viewed through the lens of a child’s fantasy in a contemporary pediatric ward. The young patients venture on a heroic journey, where knights, sorcerers, monsters, and magic are used as a salve for unimaginable challenges.

#Handel’s signature aria from his #Opera #Rinaldo HWV 7 (1711), performed on original instruments by Voices of Music, with #soprano Kirsten Blaise. Handel reworked one of his best #arias from “Il trionfo del tempo” (1707) for Rinaldo, his first London opera, and the first #Italian opera specifically #composed for the London #theatres. 👍👍👍 | Voices of Music
