Raging story of enchanting love

Magic with international class! In a series of brilliant and moving arias, Andrea Marcon and star soprano Magdalena Kožená bring to life Handel's sorceress Alcina. This enchanting femme fatale mercilessly turns young men into rocks or wild animals, until the sweetheart of one of them decides otherwise. Alcina is left behind desolate on her now disenchanted island, where Corelli's famous madness concerto 'La Follia' takes on a phenomenal new dimension.
