Handel – Theodora

Alexander Weimann returns to Seattle to direct an orchestra and chorus of 40 in Händel’s penultimate oratorio, featuring soprano Nathalie Paulin, mezzo-soprano Krisztina Szabo, counter-tenor Lawrence Zazzo, tenor Zachary Wilder, and bass Matthew Brook. Based on the story of a fourth-century Christian martyr and her lover, Theodora was Händel’s personal favorite among his works, though it received only three performances in his lifetime.

Preconcert lecture at 7:00pm.

This event marks the first project of Northwest Baroque Masterworks, a collaboration of Early Music Guild, Early Music Vancouver, and Early Music Society of the Islands (Victoria).
