Performer: Raffaella Milanesi

Overall a good performance of Handel's oratorio Esther at the Halle Festival, but some problems with the soloists unfortunately let it down.

A musically convincing production of Niccolò Jommelli's L'isola disabitata, but with too many pretentious stage ideas.

In höchsten Genussempfindungen suhlte sich mein Ohr in den vokalen Gesprächsgipfeln und den theatralischen Entschlüssen durch die bewährt wandlungsstarke Hofkapelle München unter Rüdiger Lotter.
