Featuring some of the composer's most ravishing and astonishing music, Tamerlano is one of Handel's most powerful psychological dramas, exploring extremes of human nature which remain urgently relevant today.

Award-winning director Orpha Phelan makes her Baroque opera directorial debut, leading an exceptional cast. Musical Director and world-leading Handelian Laurence Cummings makes his hotly anticipated return to the London Handel Festival, joined in the pit by his ensemble, the Academy of Ancient Music.
