Boston Baroque Live: Handel’s Agrippina

Boston Baroque is proud to introduce its first-ever live recorded performance streaming platform, Boston Baroque Live. In response to the shuttering of concert halls around the world, Boston Baroque is committed to keeping the music alive for audiences. Kicking off with Handel’s delightfully entertaining Agrippina starring Susanna Phillips and David Hansen, the organization will be releasing full-length opera productions and concerts of choral and orchestral works across multiple video platforms that can be accessed at Boston Baroque Live, a new portal on the Boston Baroque website,

Handel’s Agrippina on the Boston Baroque Live platform free for 30 days, https://baroque.boston/livehandel-agrippina. Boston Baroque will release the program on the Amazon Prime Video platform after the first 30 days, where it will be free to Amazon Prime members to stream, and available to rent starting at $1.99.

The all-star cast includes soprano Susanna Phillips as Agrippina, countertenor David Hansen as Nero, soprano Amanda Forsythe as Poppea, and bass-baritone Kevin Deas as Claudius, with Music Director Martin Pearlman conducting. A comedic tour-de-force, Handel’s operatic masterpiece tells the story of Agrippina’s plot to install her son, Nero, as emperor of Rome.
