Haymarket brings Handel’s blockbuster oratorio La Resurrezione to the stage with an updated nod to its visually sumptuous 1708 premiere. Building on Haymarket’s “brilliantly performed” (Chicago Tribune) films that incorporated projected scenic elements, designer Camilla Tassi makes her Haymarket debut with lavish projections inspired by eye-witness accounts of the first performances of this oratorio. Handel’s score is an opera in all but name, and demands breathtaking vocal and instrumental virtuosity. Early music specialist Christian Curnyn conducts the Haymarket Opera Orchestra with a star-studded cast led by soprano Sarah Brailey as the Angel and baritone Douglas Williams as Lucifer. Vocal fireworks combine with religious fervor in a heroic showdown between Heaven and Hell.

La Resurrezione

DePaul University Welcome Center

In an emotionally charged tale of courage in the face of tyranny, internationally acclaimed tenor David Portillo portrays the brave and tragic Turkish Emperor Bajazet, imprisoned by the Tartar Emperor Tamerlano sung by “exquisite” (Opera News) countertenor Ryan Belongie. Following her triumphant 2023 Haymarket debut in La Giuditta, luminescent soprano Emily Birsan sings the role of Asteria, Bajazet’s daughter, desired as wife by both Tamerlano and his Greek ally Andronico, sung by rising star mezzo-soprano Kathleen Felty. Mezzo Emily Fons makes her much-anticipated return to Haymarket as the Princess Irene, Tamerlano’s jilted bride-to-be. Bass-baritone David Govertsen brings his “thrilling bass” (Chicago Stage Style) to the role of Leone, confidant of Andronico.
