Set in the court of an 18th century Scottish king, Ariodante is a story of deception, intrigue and ultimate fidelity. Its show stopping coloratura arias and dazzling orchestral writing have indeed earned Ariodante a firm place in the repertoires of the world's major opera houses. Revival. David Alden's production lovingly evokes the elegance of eighteenth-century opera and the age of chivalry, while illuminating the darker side of human nature. It has a contemporary edge and inventive, occasionally startling, choreography and characterization. Running time 3 hours 45 minutes.
