Handel’s “Radamisto,” the composer’s first major operatic work to achieve widespread success, is rarely performed. Over three stagings, Music Director Martin Haselbock has led the Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra on a tour of Europe, a 12 performance residence at the Hamburg Opera, and, finally, coupled performances in Los Angeles bring “Radamisto” to light.
“Radamisto” will be staged Saturday at 8 p.m. at Zipper Concert Hall at the Colburn School of Performing Arts and on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Schoenberg Hall on the UCLA campus. Tickets range from $12 (student) to $49. For more information, visit www.musicaangelica.org or call (310) 458-4504.
