Xerxes Händel

Public

Approved

King Serse falls in love with the voice of his brother’s beloved, and tries to use his authority to force her to marry him. An exploration of power, desire, and human frailty, Serse features some of Handel’s most striking music, including one of his most famous arias, ‘Ombra mai fu’. In this production, a physical theatre ensemble will bring the vibrant atmosphere of Serse’s court to life.
