Opera by George Frideric Handel at Landestheater Linz.

About: George Frideric Handel

A towering figure of Baroque music, Handel left behind some 50 operas and 30 oratorios - works that have never left the concert stage. His oratorio Messiah, written in 1741, remains among the most performed choral works in the world, and his orchestral suites Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks are staples of every classical season.
