Artiste: Rafał Tomkiewicz

Ulrich Peters' 2024 production justifies the artistic value of Handel’s unjustly neglected opera and the literary value of Metastasio's libretto.

La Lira di Orfeo and Raffaele Pe bring Handel's opera in a concert performance to the Parco della Musica. 

“How Excellent.”  The first words sung in Handel’s Saul are in praise of God and were first uttered in a performance nearly three centuries ago. But they apply equally to Claus Guth’s interpretation of the work staged by Theater an der Wien.
