Alice Coote gave a blistering performance as Dejanira
9 Mar 15 / The Observer
Alice Coote’s performance as Hercules’s unhinged wife dwarfed all her colleagues’ efforts
9 Mar 15 / Financial Times
More concert performances would be most welcome
9 Mar 15 / Opera Britannia
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
6 Mar 15 / The Guardian
The emotional poignancy of the piece was caught wonderfully in this staging of the drama
6 Mar 15 / Evening Standard
Hercules may have flopped in London in 1745, but at the Barbican it is brilliantly virtuosic
6 Mar 15 / Telegraph
