Premiere at the Teatro Real.

A new production of the Teatro Real, from the Theater an der Wien.

Inspired by the protagonist of the film Taxi Driver starring Robert De Niro, stage director Claus Guth takes this representative baroque opera by Händel into a contemporary context: the consequences of a returned soldier's return to reality after the Vietnam War. A contemporary reflection of Orlando's warrior and heroic profile with the German composer's masterly score and the voices of Anna Prohaska, Christophe Damaux and Anthony Roth Costanzo.
