Krzysztof Warlikowski’s staging of George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Theodora examines faith, martyrdom and the violence of intolerance through striking theatrical imagery. Raphaël Pichon leads the period-instrument forces with luminous clarity, shaping choral textures and eloquent solo lines. The production balances baroque vocal splendour with contemporary dramatic intensity, creating an immersive, emotionally charged experience that highlights the work’s moral and spiritual dilemmas.
In Italian with surtitles in French and English.
