Ariodante

Ariodante is a Baroque opera by Handel, telling a story of love, deception, and eventual triumph. This production at the Ordway Music Theatre offers a chance to see a classic work that is not always in regular rotation. It is a good example of Handel's dramatic vocal writing and intricate orchestration. This Sunday afternoon performance of Ariodante at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts in St Paul provides a matinee opportunity to engage with classical opera. Those who appreciate historical productions and dramatic storytelling in a traditional theater setting will find it compelling.
