 By all rights, Agrippina should be a tragedy. It begins with news of Claudius' death and ends with a roll call of doom, with political intrigue, power struggles, infidelity and dysfunction filling in the blanks.

Handel's Agrippina is full of these characters, each with his or her own weakness.Read full review... | |
