One of Handel's lesser operas receives a deluxe concert performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, with Il Pomo d'Oro and a fine array of singers. 

Touring with the ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro, Jakub Józef Orliński reinvents the Baroque recital formula at the Berlin Philharmonic featuring breakdancing, an audience sing-along and a good deal of fun.

Il Pomo d'Oro and La Compagnia del Madrigale deliver a moving, nuanced performance of Gesualdo madrigals at La Bâtie festival. 

Pageantry abounds as the popular mezzo-soprano turns the Konzerthaus Wien into a sort of classical music, multisensory varieté.

The biting wit of Vincenzo Grimani's libretto is well served by some knockout arias and excellent performances from a strong cast and the matchless Il pomo d'oro.

A star cast and red-hot conducting make for a memorable night at the Barbican.

A concert performance of Arianna in Creta at the Halle Handel Festival riveted the audience with the towering talent of Ann Hallenberg and uniformly fine singing, acting and playing.

An evening of exquisite Baroque music and flamboyant coloratura at the Royal Theatre in Versailles.

Handel's Tartar-Ottoman drama Tamerlano gets a majestically beautiful, if not wildly dramatic, outing at the Barbican with Il Pomo d'Oro. 

Maxim Emelyanychev conducted the period orchestra Il Pomo d’Oro in Tamerlano at the Concertgebouw, an enjoyable performance of Handel's darkest opera. 

Such is the growing popularity of the solo countertenor voice that in this past week I was able to hear four countertenor performances in London - the latest being Max Emanuel Cenčić.

Handel's Tamerlano seduces the Versailles Opéra audience in a concert performance.

An excellent cast headed by Franco Fagioli makes this concert version of Rinaldo at the Theater an der Wien unforgettable; Il Pomo d'Oro shine in the pit.

It was one of those extraordinary solo performance that left no-one in the audience indifferent. An unmissable event for all Baroque lovers in Paris: the Argentinian countertenor Franco Fagioli in town for a recital at the Salle Gaveau. The concert was part of a tour in support of his new CD Arias for Caffarelli.
