Richard I is to marry
Costanza, a Spanish
princess, but she is shipwrecked near Cyprus. Her
rescuer, Isacio, falls for her
and plans to keep her and
send Richard his daughter
Pulcheria instead –
notwithstanding that she is
already betrothed to Oronte, Prince of Syria.
There follows the usual confusion, cross-dressing
and conﬂict that make for a classic Handelian
night out. Written for the 1727 Royal Academy
season, Riccardo Primo was also a nod to the new
king, George II, who fancied himself as another
great British military leader.

London Handel Festival: A Strong Case for a Rare Handel Opera

Nahoko Gotoh, 26th March

Riccardo Primo, Re d’Inghilterra (or in English, Richard I), is Handel’s only opera based on the story of an English monarch, and it was premiered in the coronation year of King George II in 1727 (although in fact it was composed the year before but postponed).
