Jean-Marie Villégier’s stylish production of Rodelinda sets Handel’s tale of royal exile and fidelity in the silent movie era. The composer’s ravishing music is perfectly set off by the sophisticated glamour and visual daring that characterized the birth of cinema. With Anna Caterina Antonacci as Rodelinda, Kurt Streit as Grimoaldo, Umberto Chiummo as Garibaldo, Andreas Scholl as Bertarido. Glyndebourne Festival Opera..

"Jean-Marie Villégier’s brilliant, unnerving production ... A great show - don’t miss it" THE GUARDIAN
