Large Small Description

Handel's Theodora is reborn in the sublime recording by Maxim Emelyanychev and Il Pomo d'Oro, starring Lisette Oropesa, Joyce DiDonato, Paul-Antoine BÃ©nos-Djian, Michael Spyres, and John Chest. Discover:
First performed in 1750, Theodora tells the story of Christian martyrs in ancient Antioch under Roman occupation. Theodora was Handelâ€™s penultimate major work, and he considered it among his best. Soprano Lisette Oropesa takes the role of the noble Theodora, while mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato portrays her friend Irene, a leading light of Antiochâ€™s community of Christians; Didymus, a Roman soldier who loves Theodora, is sung by countertenor Paul-Antoine BÃ©nos-Djian, and his friend Septimius by tenor Michael Spyres, while baritone John Chest holds sway as the authoritarian Roman governor Valens.
