Agrippina - The Grange

Agrippina tells the story of an empress who, believing her husband has drowned, plots to secure her son's claim to the throne. As the narrative unfolds, the commander of the army presents a challenge to her schemes, and the supposedly deceased emperor returns. This opera illustrates the themes of ambition and deception, underlined by Handel's dynamic music.

Starring Ashley Riches and Anna Bonitatibus, Agrippina captures the essence of a historical drama infused with wit and complexity. The collaboration between director Walter Sutcliffe and designer Jon Bausor enhances the storytelling, bringing to life the outrageous character of Agrippina. Handel's score is noted for its originality, blending humor with poignant moments that resonate throughout the performance.
