Not quite heroic |
9 Mar 15 / Bachtrack |
All the elements of Handel’s overlooked masterpiece were marvellously served here |
6 Mar 15 / Classical Source |
Handel’s neglected opera is an extraordinary study in marital jealousy |

The emotional poignancy of the piece was caught wonderfully in this staging of the drama |

Hercules may have flopped in London in 1745, but at the Barbican it is brilliantly virtuosic |
