Experience one of Carnegie Hall’s most popular annual highlights: The English Concert’s matinee performance of a Handel opera in concert. The Wall Street Journal calls it a “luxurious Sunday afternoon … impeccably cast and performed,” while The New York Times declared, “this ensemble sets a standard for Handel performance in the 21st century” after the 2025 edition. This year, in Handel’s Alessandro, the versatile virtuosos regale listeners with tales of Alexander the Great in India—and the significant time and energy consumed by his hapless romantic endeavors.
