Boston Baroque presets Xerxes, one of the last and greatest operas that Handel wrote, brimming with bravura arias, comedy, and passion. Composed in 1738, this tale of high-born romantic intrigue centers on Xerxes, King of Persia, and includes “Ombra mai fu,” the beautiful aria better known as “Handel’s Largo .” The stellar cast features the extraordinary male soprano Michael Maniaci, Amanda Forsythe, Marie Lenormand, Ava Pine and Mark Schnaible. Opera introduction at 6:30 pm. Concert at 7:30 pm. Semi-staged. Sung in Italian. English titles.
