Agrippina: Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona

Over het evenement

Agrippina, an opera seria by Georg Friedrich Händel, will be performed this season at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona's famous Opera House.

This opera seria by Händel is a politically incorrect comedy about how to seize or hang on to power, it is the tale of a battle between female patricians. Seduction and sex are mere tools for getting what they want, by fair means or foul. Yet paradoxically, the characters of this amoral farce are not caricatures. Three hundred years after its premiere, Agrippina still interests the audience because the protagonists are three‐dimensional, almost Mozartian, in their human contradictions and complexity.
