SGLBA is hot for Handel
Have you heard the aria Lascia ch’io pianga? It was composed in 1711 by George Frideric Handel and is one of the most gorgeous songs ever written.
In May, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Australian mezzo soprano Fiona Campbell (pictured) invite you to experience the breathtaking beauty of this immortal aria.
Discover tragic heroines and triumphant heroes from Handel’s operas in Haunting Handel — visit http://www.brandenburg.com.au/2010/index.php?page=214 — and hear one of the finest performers of her generation.
