Il Trionfo Del Tempo E Del Disinganno - I Barocchisti - Opéra de Lausanne
Oratorio of a young Lutheran on a pilgrimage to Rome
The first Roman oratorio to come from Handel’s pen, features passionate exchanges between four allegorical figures who debate the attitude to be adopted by Beauty, which oscillates between the ‘carnal’ advances of Pleasure and the moralising warnings of Time and Disillusionment the latter emphasising the merits of the beauty of the soul for those who choose a life of asceticism. In the wake of their pioneering presentations on the Scala stage, Diego Fasolis and his Barocchisti present an “original” reading of this masterpiece, which Handel revised several times, highlighting the high male registers that the choir is fortunate to possess, since at the time women’s voices were not allowed to resound in Roman churches.
