Handel's Ariodante (opera)

Handel’s&nbsp;Ariodante: A Landmark Boston Baroque Production This spring, Boston Baroque presents Handel’s&nbsp;Ariodante&nbsp;in a production that promises to be both musically and emotionally breathtaking. As the final performance conducted by&nbsp;Martin Pearlman in his tenure as Music Director, this production is a momentous occasion—honoring his legacy while bringing one of Handel’s greatest operas to life with stunning artistry and historical authenticity. A Story of Love, Betrayal, and Redemption Set in medieval Scotland,&nbsp;Ariodante&nbsp;is a tale of love tested by deception. Prince Ariodante and Princess Ginevra’s happiness is torn apart by the jealous Duke Polinesso, who schemes to destroy their union with lies and manipulation. The drama unfolds through some of Handel’s most exquisite music, from deeply expressive arias of despair to triumphant moments of justice and reunion. A Production Steeped in Handel’s Vision This&nbsp;Ariodante&nbsp;is brought to life with Boston Baroque’s renowned period-instrument orchestra, capturing the vibrant textures and colors of Handel’s original sound world. Under Pearlman’s direction, the ensemble and cast create a performance that is both historically informed and emotionally immediate, transporting audiences to a realm of high drama and breathtaking beauty. A Historic Farewell for Martin Pearlman This production marks the culmination of Martin Pearlman’s extraordinary career leading Boston Baroque. For over five decades, he has shaped the ensemble’s artistic vision, championed historically informed performance, and brought Baroque opera to life with unparalleled depth and nuance. His final performance as Music Director is a celebration of that legacy—a fitting farewell wrapped in the grandeur of Handel’s music. Experience&nbsp;Ariodante Join us for this milestone performance, where passion, artistry, and history converge. Whether you’re a longtime Boston Baroque fan or discovering Handel’s&nbsp;Ariodante&nbsp;for the first time, this production promises to be an unforgettable journey through love, loss, and redemption—all set to some of the most glorious music ever written.
