Irish National Opera – L’Olimpiade by Vivaldi

OLD PARTNERS, NEW PARTNERS, AND A HAPPY ENDING
Irish National Opera presents a concert version of L’Olimpiade by Antonio Vivaldi with Peter Whelan conducting the Irish Baroque Orchestra.

Four young people, one an Olympic champion. Tangled relationships. Forbidden love, twice over. An unsuccessful assassination. An execution avoided. And a royal father who has to accept his children as they are. 

INO continues its award-winning exploration of Vivaldi’s operas with the work which started the 20th-century revival of the composer's works for the stage.

L’Olimpiade brims with opportunities for all seven characters, showing their personalities and feelings through arias that range from the explosive and almost instrumentally virtuosic, to the slow exploration of more tender thoughts.
