Ariodante

Ariodante’s perfect life comes crumbling down around him when his fiancée, Ginevra, is accused of infidelity. With the evidence stacked against her, can Ginevra clear her name? And can harmony be restored? Dutch director Jetske Mijnssen makes her Royal Opera debut with a focussed, striking new production of Handel’s remarkable music drama, conducted by Stefano Montanari.

Ariodante has it all. He is young, in love, and his fiancée, Ginevra, is first in line to the throne. But when a jealous rival conspires against them, Ginevra, falsely accused of infidelity, is stripped of her status, while Ariodante, believing himself betrayed, seeks oblivion. Can justice be restored?
