DESCRIPTION:Mar 8-20\, 2026\nWhat kind of an animal is Handel’s Hercules?
  The premiere at King’s Theatre in London in 1745 was presented in orato
 rio form and flopped hard. In an early-20th-century revival with full oper
 atic trappings\, the score impressed cognoscenti as one of the supreme mas
 terpieces of its time. After last year’s acclaimed tour with Handel’s 
 Giulio Cesare in Egitto\, Harry Bicket and the English Consort offer Ameri
 can Handelians another chance to assess Hercules au naturel. William Guanb
 o Su lends his rock-solid\, pitch-black bass to the part of the hero. The 
 soprano Hilary Cronin sings Iole\, the princess he brings home from his wa
 nderings\, much to the distress of his wife Dejanira\, the mezzo-soprano A
 nn Hallenberg\, who has a cloak dipped in centaur’s blood on hand for ju
 st such an eventuality.
