Act 1
A concert performance of Handel's Partenope, sung in Italian. Lars Ulrik Mortensen conducts Concerto Copenhagen and a cast from Danish Opera, including Inger Dam-Jensen (Act 1).
Catherine Bott presents a concert performance of Handel's Partenope, sung in Italian.
Partenope is a dazzling comic parody of a typically convoluted plot, which only unravels when the supposed Prince of Armenia is challenged to fight bare-chested and is exposed as the disguised Rosmira, her challenger's abandoned fiancee.
