Overview
One of the most charismatic musical personalities of our time, Nathalie Stutzmann’s work as contralto and conductor has won countless admirers in recent years, especially in partnership with her own versatile ensemble, Orfeo 55.
This programme, entitled ‘Handel: Heroes from the Shadows’ makes stars of the unfairly overlooked roles as we explore the glorious arias performed by Arsamene to Zenobia and Cornelia to Ottone.
