Haymarket Opera Company: 'Orlando' Act I
$62 full series access
George Frideric Handel – Act I from Orlando, HWV 31
Haymarket Opera presents a new top-quality film of Handel’s magic opera, Orlando, staged and costumed for visual splendor alongside a star-studded cast.
Imaginative and arresting film techniques capture the genius of Handel and the show-stopping artistry of the performers: Bejun Mehta in the title role, Emily Fons (Medoro), David Govertsen (Zoroastro), Kimberly Jones (Angelica), and Erica Schuller (Dorinda). Harpsichordist Jory Vinikour rejoins the Haymarket Opera Orchestra, led by Craig Trompeter.
Orlando was filmed in June 2021 at the new Jarvis Opera Hall at DePaul University, the first production to take place in the venue.
Orlando will premiere online in three acts on September 16, 23, and 30 at 7:30pm Central / 5:30pm Pacific, each featuring a virtual opening night party, with the full opera available for viewing until October 31, 2021.
Tickets: $60 (+$2 service fee). One ticket provides access to all three acts and virtual opening night parties.
