Awards and reviews

April 2023

Rarely have the 17th-century antecedents of Serse been as apparent as they are in this sharply-etched and fleet-footed live performance...At its heart lies an Ottavio Dantone trademark—total commitment to the importance of delivering plain recitative in true parlando style...This Serse is red-blooded Handelian music drama, its vital vocal acting at times providing fresh insights into the opera.
