Relocated to 1920s Paris and inspired by the surrealism of Man Ray, Christophe­r Alden’s Olivier Award-winning 2008 production of Handel’s emotional rollercoas­ter returns ardent Handelian Christian Curnyn to the pit, and mezzo-soprano Patricia Bardon to the stage (though as Arsace this time round). Soprano Sarah Tynan is the alluring Neapolitan Queen of the title.
