The melancholy of the mighty

Saul

Georg Friedrich Handel
©
The dramatic oratorio Saul, by George Friedrich Händel, was written within a few weeks, despite his deep psychological and financial crisis at the time. The oratorio is rarely performed with staging in Germany—the same is true of Semele, his other dramatic oratorio—and this large-scale staging will be directed by the Berlin opera and film director Axel Ranisch.
