Freiburger Barockorchester: Tamerlano
Date & Time
Thu, May 8, 2025, 19:00Georg Friedrich Händel's "Tamerlano" is considered an insider tip among connoisseurs. Unlike his other operas, "Tamerlano" focuses on sophisticated recitatives rather than flamboyant arias, making it a psychological study rather than a baroque revue. Unusually, the main role of Bajazit is given to a tenor, not a castrato, and his suicide scene occurs almost entirely on stage. The opera was praised by contemporaries for its melodies and effects. Conductor René Jacobs emphasizes the strength of Nicola Francesco Haym's libretto. A free introductory lecture will take place at 6:15 pm in the Rolf-Böhme-Saal.A summary from original text in German | Read the original
