Handel: Theodora, HWV 68

Handel: Theodora, HWV 68

Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, Maxim Emelyanychev, Il Pomo d'Oro, Lisette Oropesa, John Chest, Joyce DiDonato, Michael Spyres
2022

Relatant le destin tragique de la Princesse d’Antioche, devenue chrétienne et qui résista à l’autorité de Rome, Theodora de Haendel affirme, en 1749, l’émergence de l’opéra anglais fondé sur des épisodes bibliques. L’interprétation fascinante dirigée par le chef russe Maxim Emelyanychev confirme que cet oratorio est l’une des plus grandes réussites du compositeur. La mezzo-soprano américaine Joyce DiDonato est la star de sa distribution, imposante et sonore dès son aria de la première partie « As With Rosy Steps the Morn ». La soprano Lisette Oropesa et le contre-ténor Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian excellent également dans le rôle des martyrs chrétiens Theodora et Didymus, relevant avec émotion le défi de la déchirante scène finale. Merveilleusement éloquent, le chœur donne plus de cachet encore à un ensemble qui ravira tous les amateurs de la musique de Haendel.
