Part of EIF 2011

Haydn's Orlando paladino is an exotic story of love, jealousy and magic and is a beguiling mixture of heroism and comedy. The opera features an exotic cast of mythic and historical characters including the Queen of Cathay, the King of Barbary, a chorus of shepherds, savages and Saracens alongside the fabled warrior of medieval France, the Paladin of the great Charlemagne.

Making his Edinburgh International Festival debut, the renowned Belgian conductor René Jacobs leads a brilliant cast of singers, accompanied by the peerless interpreters of the classical repertoire, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. Read more …
