Enter a world of back-stabbing, politics, power and corruption in this concert performance of Handel’s first masterpiece, Agrippina. The opera examines the relationship between women and power, in a gripping story of one woman’s
destructive desire for control. Handel’s sensuous score is conducted by acclaimed Handel expert Marc Minkowski.

Please note start time.
