Ariodante was the first work which Handel composed for the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden after his contract with the Kings Theatre, Haymarket ran out in mid-1734.
Ariodante stands out amongst Handels opera works by means of its combination of excellent and challenging music coupled with a first-class plot. There is probably no other Handel opera which contains such a wealth of striking and catchy arias as are found in the first act of Ariodante alone. The three wide-ranging arias composed for the castrato Carestini are amongst the greatest bravura pieces.
The plot is based on an episode in Ariostos epic Orlando furioso (1516). The central event of the drama, the trick with which Duke Polinesso convinces his commander Ariodante that Ginevra is unfaithful, was also used by Shakespeare in Much Ado About Nothing.
The vocal score is based on Donald Burrows 2007 Urtext edition in the Halle Handel Edition (Series II/32). It therefore reflects the latest in musicological research.
- Based on the Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition
- Straightforward and easy-to-play piano reduction
- Original Italian text with German singing translation
