Oratorio by Handel
Berwaldhallen welcomes baroque specialist Emmanuelle Haïm, internationally known soloist and leader of the Le Concert d’Astrée ensemble, here with Handel’s the Triumph of Time and Truth.
Conductor and harpsichordist Emmanuelle Haïm has previously visited Drottningholm’s Castle Theatre, and worked with Swedish baroque stars. Early music and baroque are Haïm’s specialist areas, and when she makes her Berwaldhallen debut, she’s accompanied by an ensemble from the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and baroque soprano Sandrine Piau, one of Haïm’s recurring colleagues, among others. Handel’s very first oratorio, Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno or the Triumph of Time and Truth, is also known for the Lascia la Spina aria, which the composer reused several years later in an opera – then entitled Lascia ch’io Pianga.
