Ariodante HWV 33 Opera in three acts by George Frideric Handel Choir - Sheet Music

By George Frideric Handel

Ariodantewas the first work which Handel composed for the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden after his contract with the King's Theatre, Haymarket ran out in mid-1734. ,,Ariodantestands out amongst Handel's opera works by means of its combination of excellent and challenging music coupled with a first-class plot. There is probably no other Handel opera which contains such a wealth of striking and catchy arias as are found in the first act ofAriodantealone. The three wide-ranging arias composed for the castrato Carestini are amongst the greatest bravura pieces. The plot is based on an episode in Ariosto's epicOrlando furioso(1516). The central event of the drama, the trick with which Duke Polinesso convinces his commander Ariodante that Ginevra is unfaithful, was also used by Shakespeare inMuch Ado About Nothing. The vocal score is based on Donald Burrows' 2007 Urtext edition in theHalle HandelEdition (Series II/32). It therefore reflects the latest in musicological research.
