At a Glance
At its premiere in London, critic Charles Burney dubbed
Radamisto "more solid, ingenious, and full of fire than
any drama which Handel had yet produced in this country." The first
of his operas written for the Royal Academy of Music,
Radamisto combines sex and politics in a subtle
musical portrayal of human relations that ultimately champions the
power of personal and marital loyalty.
