On a venturous journey through the world of opera, soprano Andrea Conangla performs some of the most spectacular and demanding arias from the 18th century repertoire. In the role of Cleopatra in Händel’s Giulio Cesare, she embodies the expression of relief and triumph in Da tempeste and the seductive power in V’adoro, pupille. With The Madness, he abandons himself in the satirical register of Rameau’s opera Platée. He succumbs to the lament and supplication of Almirena in Händel’s Rinaldo. It ends with the vengeance and bravery of the Queen of the Night in Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Alternately, the orchestra performs overtures from operas by Mozart and Rossini, passes through the stylized exoticism of Rameau in The Gallant Indies and ends with the contagious energy of Offenbach’s famous Can-Can.
