The musicians of Concerto Köln play with such freshness, boldness, and joy that it's hard to believe: The Cologne ensemble is celebrating its 40th birthday! To celebrate, they'll perform Handel's light-hearted opera "Flavio, Rè di Longobardi," starring the incomparable Julia Lezhneva and countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic.

The sorceress Alcina has everything: power, money, respect. She is loved and feared. She is stunningly beautiful, astute, and highly dangerous. But does all that make her happy? She is in love with Ruggiero and is forced continually to lie to him to keep him by her. Does Alcina know at all true affection, or is her life only illusion and deception?
