The Sultan Bajazet (John Mark Ainsley's taxed tenor) spends the opera not forgiving the Tartar Tamerlano (contralto Sonia Prina) for having defeated him, while Asteria (soprano Sarah Fox), (Canadian mezzo Mary-Ellen Nesi) and Irene (mezzo Maite Beaumont) hatch several love-and jeal-ousy-fuelled plots of revenge and murder.
Since I did just now in Madrid my 126th role - which is Bajazet in "Tamerlano" and marks my first excursion into the repertoire of Handel - you can imagine how much I still adhere to vocal discipline.
The cast in Tamerlano is led by a pair of outstanding counter tenors, Derek Ragin and Michael Chance, then both at the start of their careers, with tenor Nigel Robson as Bajazet, while the soloists in L'Allegro include Marie McLaughlin, Jennifer Smith and Martyn Hill; dramatic energy and vitality course through both performances.
