A rare opportunity to see Handel’s final operatic work, Deidamia, conducted – and staged – by George Petrou at Wexford Festival Opera. 

In the intimate splendour of the Margravial Opera House, Bayreuth Baroque revives Cavalli’s Pompeo Magno with a riot of colors, eight masked countertenors and a Tiepolo-like air of playful chaos.

A joyous, consummately skilful account from Vox Luminis breathed delightful life into Purcell and Dryden's unusual semi-opera at Snape Maltings.
