London Handel Festival: L'Allegro
Paulina is excited to make her London Handel Festival debut with Arcangelo and Jonathan Cohen in a performance of L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato at St. George’s, Hanover Square.
Critically-acclaimed ensemble Arcangelo, opens the London Handel Festival 2025 in style with its debut performance as Principal Ensemble in Residence, under the direction of Jonathan Cohen in his debut as Artistic Adviser. The massed orchestral and choral forces are joined by a star-studded line-up of international soloists to perform one of Handel’s most inventive, unique, and inspiring works.
Based on the imaginative poetry of John Milton, Handel’s L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato is a breathtaking collision of darkness and light, innocence and experience: a celebration of the wonders of nature and the mysteries of life, and a superbly apt work with which to introduce a significant new chapter in the story of the London Handel Festival.
