When Mary Pendarves witnessed Händel rehearsing his »Alcina«, he seemed like a magician surrounded by his creatures to his friend. So, it’s in the spirit of the grand sorcerer when three top vocal virtuosos and an outstanding baroque ensemble transform Potsdam’s Old Market into an island of sirens. They become the sorceresses Alcina and Medea, turn into ancient superhero Theseus or abandoned Ariadne and sail the stormy seas between the islands in Händel’s operatic archipelago – including delightful detours into less well-known waters.
