With this DVD and Blu-ray of Rodelinda, one of Handel’s most emotionally complex operas, conductor Emmanuelle Haïm adds to her impressive Erato catalogue of the composer’s works. The imaginative production, by Jean Bellorini, was seen at the Opéra de Lille in Autumn 2018, and the cast features soprano Jeanine De Bique in the title role, countertenor Tim Mead as her husband Bertarido and another countertenor, Erato’s rising star Jakub Józef Orliński as Unulfo. Reviewing the production, Le Monde noted Emmanuelle Haïm’s “intimate connection with this music, which she knows how to unleash in all its violence, passion and heart-wrenching expressivity.”.

Rodelinda

Claus Guth's exciting 2017 staging of Handel’s "Rodelinda" at Madrid’s Teatro Real, featuring Lucy Crowe and Bejun Mehta as Rodelinda and Bertarido, with conductor Ivor Bolton. After the successes of "Giulio Cesare" in 1723 and "Tamerlano" in 1724, Rodelinda completes the trilogy of Handel’s great opera seria masterpieces. The work was composed in 1725 using Nicola Francesco Haym’s libretto, a work inspired by Antonio Salvi’s earlier libretto which had been itself adapted from Pierre Corneille’s tragedy "Pertharite, roi des Lombards". Rodelinda thus brought one of the most glorious compositional periods in the Handel’s career to a close, about a decade after his arrival in the British capital. Mixing romantic storytelling and political intrigue, Handel produced one of his most beautiful scores, a true operatic tour de force..

Rodelinda [The Metropolitan Opera]

Renée Fleming joue le rôle-titre de l’un des plus grands drames de Haendel, dans la production de Stephen Wadsworth vue pour la première fois au Met en 2004. Rodelinda est confrontée à un dilemme impossible : son mari Bertarido étant présumé mort, elle doit soit épouser le méprisé Grimoaldo (l'élégant Joseph Kaiser) qui a usurpé le trône de son mari, soit le voir assassiner son fils. Mais Bertarido (le contre-ténor principal Andreas Scholl) est vivant et finit par récupérer à la fois le trône et sa femme et fait la paix avec ses ennemis. Stephanie Blythe est merveilleuse dans le rôle d'Eduige, la sœur de Bertarido, fiancée à Grimoaldo mais qui se retourne contre lui. L'autorité baroque est dirigée par Harry Bicket..
