Handel Operas 2009

As part of a complete cycle of Handel's operas, Louise Fryer presents a performance of Arminio, composed in 1736.

Arminio is a German prince defending his country - and his wife Tusnelda - against the invading Romans. Our sympathies are divided, though: the Roman general Varo is as noble and heroic as Arminio himself. The villain is Tusnelda's treacherous father Segeste, ever-ready to betray his fellow Germans - even his own family - to the enemy.
