In the manner of a pasticcio this concert programme attempts to tell its own story of the Arianna myth: with selected arias from three operas by Handel, Marcello and Porpora in combination with Pietro Locatelli's impressive concerto grosso Il pianto d’Arianna. Carolyn Sampson and Gottfried von der Goltz are just the perfect match for this musical storytelling event.
