Mark Padmore and Carolyn Sampson lead us on a searing journey through Handel.
Arias and duets from his operas and oratorios trace a path from despair to redemption, revealing the great master of the human soul in music.
Tonight’s performance draws on Handel’s lifetime of producing hit shows for London’s theatres. Including around 40 operas and over 20 oratorios, his music itself becomes the stage: witness family quarrels, the twists and turns of love, the political schemes of tyrants undone, and the vulnerable and victorious all brought vividly to life.
Price: £18 – £66 (Premium £84)*
General booking opens on Tue 27 October 2026 at 10:00am.
