Tamerlano

Opera by Handel (libretto by A Piovene, adapted by Nicola Francesco Haym), produced at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, London, on 31 October 1724. In the story, Tamerlano offers his betrothed, Irene, to ally Andronicus in return for his beloved Asteria, daughter of the captured emperor Bajazet. After feigning cooperation Asteria refuses and is imprisoned; her father takes poison before the original relationships are restored.

Pierre Audi staged Handel's Tamerlano in the Baroque theatre in Sweden's Drottning-holm Palace before he created it for Munich, but he transferred much of the Baroque spirit--and its natural limits-to the stage of the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Pairing the opera Tamerlano with the joyously exuberant choral setting of Milton (with a disc of ballet music from the operas too) makes no obvious sense, except that both rank among Gardiner's finest Handel performances; and his versions of each (L'Allegro from 1981, Tamerlano from five years later) arguably remain the most recommendable in the current catalogue.
