Opera North - Alcina

ALCINA

Music George Frideric Handel
Libretto Anon.
First performance London, 1735

New production

On an island paradise, a young man, Ruggiero, has fallen under the spell of a woman, Alcina, who is experiencing real love for the very first time. But on Alcina’s island nothing is as it seems, for she is an enchantress who transforms her discarded lovers into non-human form, and her island is a barren wasteland whose apparent beauty is maintained only by her powers of illusion. When Bradamante, Ruggiero’s fiancée, arrives on the island intent on reclaiming her lost love, Alcina’s magic is tested to breaking point.

This extraordinary tale of deception and disguise, of love and loss, of enchantment and illusion, is told in some of Handel’s most richly inventive music, such as Ruggiero’s regretful farewell to the beauty of Alcina’s island, ‘Verdi prati’.

Our first ever production of one of Handel’s most popular operas is directed by Tim Albery, responsible for a sumptuous revival of Giulio Cesare for Opera North in 2019. It reunites him with Baroque specialist Laurence Cummings, who led the Company’s highly acclaimed production of Monteverdi’s The Coronation of Poppea in 2014.

Cast includes:

Alcina Máire Flavin
Ruggiero Patrick Terry
Bradamante Joanna Motulewicz
Morgana Fflur Wyn
Oronte to be announced
Melissa Claire Pascoe

Conductor Laurence Cummings
Director Tim Albery
Set and Costume Designer Hannah Clark

HMS Pinafore / The Zoo
Sale Gilbert and Sullivan society are excited to bring you two great comic operas for the price of one!

The fabulous new production of the ever-popular HMS Pinafore tells the entertaining tale of love, duty and rank. As Josephine falls in love with the “lowly sailor” Ralph Rackstraw, she is torn between honouring her heart’s desire or the wishes of her father Captain Corcoran.

With many well-known and well-loved songs to enjoy, you’ll still be humming along as we segue you into The Zoo to bring you the hilarious tale of two pairs of lovers, a very opinionated British Public, and a Gorilla!
