Handel's most popular stage work, ALCINA is a Baroque fantasy about the havoc Alcina, a sorceress, wreaks upon the lives of, among others, Ruggerio and Bradamante, two lovers who have wandered into her enchanted isle. This Stuttgart State Opera production of Handel's opera is visually mesmerizing, intensely dramatic, and wonderfully vocalized. Aided by Catherine Naglestad's star turn as Alcina, the tragic enchantress who has put her seductive spell on the isle's captives, this production emerged as one of the best at the 2000 Edinburgh Festival, where it premiered.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseSingle Side - Dual LayerAnamorphic WidescreenAudio: PCM Stereo
