THE sublime music of George Frideric Handel and the extraordinary story of how it was composed are brought to vivid life in a stunning musical drama at Sydney Opera House on Sunday 27 May 2007.
Live on stage, the great 18th century composer – played by actor Peter Whitford in full period dress – faces a 21st century interview with SBS Television’s chief news presenter Mary Kostakidis as interlocutor.
And interlacing the dialogue, over 450 singers and musicians, including principal soloists from Opera Australia, will perform a selection of Handel’s most glorious compositions.
