Handel: Theodora, HWV 68

Handel: Theodora, HWV 68

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

Eigentlich ist das Oratorium „Theodora“ von Georg Friedrich Händel eine Oper – und diese fesselnde Aufführung unter der Leitung des russischen Dirigenten Maxim Emelyanychev unterstreicht, dass es sich um eine der größten Leistungen des Komponisten handelt. Die amerikanische Mezzosopranistin Joyce DiDonato brilliert als Star unter den Solist:innen, souverän und klangvoll in ihrer Arie „As with Rosy Steps the Morn“ im ersten Teil. Die Sopranistin Lisette Oropesa und der Countertenor Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian glänzen in den Rollen der christlichen Märtyrer:innen Theodora und Didymus und meistern die Herausforderung der herzzerreißenden Schlussszene auf ergreifende Weise. Der wunderbare, ausdrucksstarke Chorgesang verleiht dieser Aufführung, die sich Fans von Händels Musik auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen sollten, einen zusätzlichen Glanzpunkt.
