Handel's third English oratorio is presented in strictly traditional fashion at the 2024 Halle Handel Festival but nonetheless generates drama, excitement and excellent singing. 

Handel's Athalia is a wonderful English oratorio but this production, while musically wonderful, was marred by a problematic staging with infuriating surtitles.

Ludus Baroque, with its handpicked performers, brought the tale of Athalia to spectacular life - the destiny of a bloodstained Queen or the King across the water? You decide!
