The Queen's Closet (Furioso 1: La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina) Opera
Furioso is a new cycle of three ‘mini-operas’ created by The Queen’s Closet, a 17th century musical company for the 21stcentury. Ludovico Ariosto’s 1532 epic poem, Orlando Furioso, has been the inspiration for dozens of operatic adaptations across centuries. Our mini-operas tell three parts of Ariosto’s tale, involving overlapping casts of knights and warriors, sorceresses and princesses…and a hippogriff. …then one of: This bite-sized retelling of Francesca Caccini’s 1625 opera, La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina is a tale of enchantment and revenge. Come and find out what the enchantress Alcina has been up to, and how the knight Bradamante conspires with sorceress Melissa to rescue her beloved Ruggiero and her cousin Astolfo from Alcina’s clutches! From the cornetto to the sackbut, our first mini-opera takes us to the colourful world of some of the earliest Italian opera. -- Love and madness feature in this condensed rendition of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s sumptuous opera Roland (1685), our second mini-opera. You won’t be able to take your eyes off of the lovely Angelique…but only the fair Medor may have her heart. This sets the unfortunate knight Roland—otherwise known as Orlando—on a descent into jealous madness. Intrigue, double-crosses and romance are brought to life by the lush colours and textures of Lully’s early French baroque music. -- Based on Antonio Vivaldi’s 1714 version of his opera, Orlando furioso, and with the brilliance and spectacle of natural horns and trumpets, our third and final mini-opera brings redemption and forgiveness to Alcina’s island. Poor Alcina is distraught over her defeat by the sorceress Melissa. Meanwhile, Orlando—otherwise known as Roland—is mad with jealousy over Angelica’s marriage to her lover Medoro. Only Astolfo can save the day, with a trip to the moon. But how did Astolfo get to the moon? You’ll have to come along and find out!
