Alice Coote e chiaramente una cantante handeliana di esperienza

Even after a long evening this superb account of Ariodante leaves one wanting more
20 May 17 / Seen and Heard
Alice Coote delivered a brilliantly engaging and emotional rendition of ‘Scherza infida’

A marvellous Ariodante at the Barbican Hall
18 May 17 / Opera Today
By far the most interesting portrayal came from Sonia Prina as the villain, Polinesso

Alice Coote plunged uninhibitedly into the title role of Handel’s opera
18 May 17 / Financial Times
This concert performance offered Handel as an Almodóvar ensemble piece, comic and tragic in equal measure and gloriously uninhibited
