Alcina is a sorcerer; an enchantress. She’s also one of Handel’s most complex and fascinating anti-heroines – the undisputed star and hit of the 1735 London season. With her brilliant coloratura and career-long engagement with baroque repertoire, Joyce di Donato is Alcina’s ideal modern interpreter. This second concert of her Artist Spotlight places her at the centre of a first-rate ensemble cast, for this concert performance with the English Concert under Harry Bicket.
