    Overview

    Elizabeth Cragg and Renata Pokupić join the London Handel Players to sing a selection of the glorious arias and duets that Handel created in Alcina and Il pastor fido for two sensational Italian opera stars of the 1730s.

    Croation mezzo-soprano Renata Pokupić is praised for her engaging and expressive interpretation of baroque repertoire, while British soprano Elizabeth Cragg regularly stars in performances of Handel’s music across the UK and Europe.
