From stylised 16th-century dress to a 1970s sitcom ballet, Konwitschny's Staatsoper staging is full of brilliantly inventive touches, splendidly realised in this excellently sung revival. 

The 2002 production of Handel’s masterpiece is revived with a solid cast under the baton of Riccardo Minasi.

A musically strong revival of an austere production still leaves one feeling short-changed.
