Love, betrayal, reconciliations, separations, and impossible choices… what more could one ask for from a libretto based on Corneille? One of Handel’s most moving heroines makes her grand return to France, under the magic of Emmanuelle Haïm and Jean Bellorini, in a modern and poetic revisioning of baroque tradition.
