Handel's Agrippina March 22, 2011

Agrippina wants her rotten son to be the emperor of Rome. What’s a mother to do? She promises anything to everyone standing in her way: Nero himself, an ambitious courtesan, a general, a couple of fawning sycophants, and half the Roman Senate, and her husband, current emperor Claudius. Handel’s music soars. Come delight in his fresh musical invention and some crazy, hothouse humanity.
