Händels Theodora – Camerata Öresund
With “Theodora”, Camerata Öresund tells a story about courage, hope and humanity. “Theodora” is one of the very last oratorios Georg Friedrich Handel composed, and is considered one of his most accomplished works. The oratorio tells about Theodora – a brave martyr who uses her compassion and love as a weapon against society’s injustice, oppression and authoritarian power – themes that feel relevant even in our time. In the work, Handel succeeds in intertwining the deep pathos of the oratorio with the dramatic energy of the opera, thus creating a musical experience that hits the soul.
