Handel Operas 2009

Radio 3's complete cycle of Handel's operas continues with a performance of Handel's Lotario, an intended blockbuster Handel wrote to launch his own opera company in 1729. It centres on a hero who is not a womanising rake but a brave warrior, faithful to the woman he loves - Adelaide, the deposed Queen of Italy.
