Händel with care

The dissemination cycle that has enriched the musical offering of Fucina Culturale Machiavelli for three years will this year focus on the figure of Georg Friedrich Händel (1685–1759), one of the greatest composers of the Baroque. A great globetrotter, born in Germany, trained in Italy, and naturalized in England, Händel captivated the audiences of his time and continues to enchant today’s listeners with his brilliant and communicative music, which we will present with live musicians and the storytelling backdrop of the communicator Stefano Soardo.

The program is developed as follows:

- January 31, 7:00 PM - Händel and the Messiah

The first appointment of the cycle dedicated to Händel will feature the ensemble Fucina Harmonica along with the Vocal Group Bequadro in the performance of the Messiah. Composed in just three weeks in 1741, the Messiah is Händel's most famous oratorio and one of the most beloved sacred works of all time. With texts drawn from the Bible, the composer narrates the life, passion, and resurrection of Christ through music of extraordinary emotional power and spiritual inspiration. 

- February 28, 7:00 PM - Händel and opera

The second event dedicated to the great German composer naturalized as English will focus on his operatic compositions, featuring the ensemble Fucina Harmonica and solo voices Alice Fraccari and Maria Giuditta Guglielmi.

- March 1, 4:30 PM - The great journey of little Händel

The last event of the series is an exciting concert show designed to introduce younger audiences to the history and music of the great Baroque composer George Frideric Händel.

All concerts take place at the Fucina Culturale Machiavelli Theatre.
