Emmanuelle Haim conductor
With
this DVD and Blu-ray of Rodelinda, one of Handel’s most emotionally
complex operas, conductor Emmanuelle Haïm adds to her impressive
catalogue of the composer’s works. The imaginative production, by Jean
Bellorini, was seen at the Opéra de Lille in Autumn 2018, and the cast
features soprano Jeanine De Bique in the title role, countertenor Tim
Mead as her husband Bertarido and another countertenor, Erato’s rising
star Jakub Józef Orliński as Unulfo.
Reviewing
the production, Le Monde noted Emmanuelle Haïm’s “intimate connection
with this music, which she knows how to unleash in all its violence,
passion and heart-wrenching expressivity.”
