Xerxes Händel

Handel's characterization of his title character in his third to last opera is extremely multifaceted. Serse, the ruler, is never sovereign, but at the mercy of his desires and human weaknesses. The opera is one of Handel's most imaginative and unconventional works.

English

Äusserst facettenreich charakterisiert Händel in seiner drittletzten Oper seine Titelfigur. Serse, der Herrscher, ist in keinem Moment souverän, sondern seinen Begierden und menschlichen Schwächen hilflos ausgeliefert. Die Oper gehört zu Händels fantasievollsten und unkonventionellsten Werken.
