[@SouthBrxBaby]

I like this production even better than The Metropolitan Opera's. The casting, the costuming, the performances are all really wonderful!

[@ArsLyricaHouston]

Thanks Janine! We truly believe in the importance of presenting these works as authentically as possible. They resonate in a different way!

[@ВалентинаНосарева-х1э]

sheer joy

[@SasSnow]

Excellent version, however I have to make a little constructive criticism: some words are pronounced extremely badly. For the rest, this is a very beautiful representation

[@lizzyborg]

Wonderful production but where is Part 2 please?

Difficult to understand how people who 'get' a Handel opera wouldn't have left Texas long ago.

[@thewanderingamerican5412]

yeah I'm not buying the color mixing here. How about a black mother and black son, or a white mother and white son etc? This is just awkward. This forced diversity is idiotic.

[@benjamin4737]

No it is not. You must know the Story behind Nerone. So it is not idiotic.

[@dkb9364]

Lmao who could possibly give a shit, as long as they sing well

[@Ishtarmohammadi]

it's not a movie, the main thing for sure were if the singers could sing HANDEL man

[@ThecatofCheshire]

Exactly! Because that's what we want from this Opera! Realism...

[@andrewjohnson8232]

You can't be this f'ing stupid. Surely that's not possible.
