Love versus illusion. Magic versus truth. Men turned into rocks, trees, even streams. Handel’s opera seria of 1735, Alcina, brims with bewitchings, and also includes a hippogriff (a flying hybrid—part eagle, part horse). Cecilia Bartoli stars in the title role, a volatile sorceress undone by love. —L.J.
