Performer: Roberta Invernizzi

Scarlatti's oratorio proves a rather disappointing outing for Fabio Biondi and Europa Galante, not helped by the venue's acoustics. 

Europa Galante's musicians’ collective expertise in playing music of the 17th and 18th centuries is indisputable and was in full display once again in Bucharest. 

An entertaining night of Baroque music, costume and movement, but above all wonderful singing, at the historic Orangerieschloss at Potsdam

In the Teatro Regio's production everything is according to the script, but the magic of the stage is absent. 

Though musically played with participation and sensitivitythe, this production was full of jugglers, acrobats, dancers, circus performers and mimes. 

In an operatic head-to-head, Handel would emerge triumphant for most Baroque buffs, yet Milanese soprano Roberta Invernizzi presented an excellent case for the Red Priest in a dazzling Wigmore Hall recital with La Risonanza.
