Handel Amadigi 2 CD plus Booklet Box Set A 3-Act Opera by Georg Friedrich Handel

Description: Handel Amadigi 2 CD + Booklet Box Set : A 3-Act Opera by Georg Friedrich HandelAmadigi di Gaula is a "magic" opera in three acts, with music by George Frideric Handel. It was the fifth Italian opera that Handel wrote for an English theatre and the second he wrote for Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington in 1715. The opera about a damsel in distress is based on Amadis de Grèce, a French tragédie-lyrique by André Cardinal Destouches and Antoine Houdar de la Motte. Amadigi was written for a small cast, employing four high voices. Handel made prominent use of wind instruments, so the score is unusually colourful, comparable to his Water Music.The opera received its first performance in London at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket on 25 May 1715, in a lavish successful production.Includes a 102 page informational Booklet.Pre-owned, all Discs, Case, Inlay, Booklet & Cardboard Sleeve are in excellent like new condition.
