Overview
Wigmore Hall has become a favourite venue for PhilippeJaroussky, an intimate stage where the superstarcountertenor can communicate his compelling artistryand dare to take vocal risks.
His work with EnsembleArtaserse, showered with recording awards and fivestarreviews, continues with an all-Handel programmefuelled by Baroque ideals of vocal display, the clear andpowerful expression of distinct emotions, and the creationof drama through music. The spotlight falls on dazzlingarias from such little-known operas as Flavio, a satire onhuman fantasies, the King Lear-like Siroe, and Tolomeo, acompelling tale of political intrigue, love, lust and revenge.
