Orlando - Gran Teatre del Liceu Music
03/24/2026

Gran Teatre del Liceu presents Orlando by Georg Friedrich Handel, one of the most fascinating operas in the Baroque repertoire, as part of the Festival Barcelona Ciutat de Clàssica programme. Inspired by Ariosto's chivalric epic, the work explores with remarkable psychological depth the boundaries between reason and madness, love and duty, through music of extraordinary expressive richness. This production stands out for its staging, which focuses on the characters' inner worlds and the visionary nature of the score, with a refined use of recitative and arias of great vocal virtuosity. The musical direction and a cast specialising in Baroque repertoire guarantee a rigorous and nuanced interpretation. Its presence at the Festival Barcelona Ciutat de Clàssica reinforces the Liceu's role as a leading venue for major international operatic productions and makes this Orlando an unmissable highlight of the season.
