METオペラ
『ロデリンダ』
Handel’s Rodelinda
With a typically tangled web of plotlines and characteristic combination of gorgeous lyricism and scintillating vocal fireworks, Rodelinda is Handel opera at its finest. In this 2011 Live in HD performance (just seven years after the opera had its long-overdue Met premiere), Renée Fleming brings star power and glamorous voice to the title role of the seventh-century Queen of Lombardy. As Rodelinda, she grieves her husband, who is believed to be dead, and struggles to protect her family while rebuffing the advances of a grasping usurper.
Renée Fleming stars in the title role of the grieving Queen of Lombardy in Handel’s dazzling drama, heading a brilliant cast that also includes Andreas Scholl, Joseph Kaiser, Stephanie Blythe, and Shenyang, with Harry Bicket conducting.
