Work: La resurrezione

What might have been an outstanding performance of a great early Handel work is compromised by the limitations of the venue, but the combined forces do their best before an enthusiastic audience.

The young Handel's homage to Counter Reformation Rome, La resurrezione, is effectively brought to life by Opera Atelier with glittering sets and fine, stylish singing.

On Easter Monday, this year's London Handel Festival came to a close with Handel's youthful oratorio La Resurrezione in the suitably Baroque setting of London's St Martin-in-the-Fields.
