	GEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL/ Alan Curtis/ II Complesso Barocco/ René Jacobs/
		Admeto, re di Tessaglia was Handel's most popular opera, running for a record-breaking 19 performances in the early months of 1727.
		As good as the music is, it seems likely that a further attraction was the Academy's controversial employment of Europe's two leading prima donnas, Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni-a PR gambit that turned sour when their increasingly bitter rivalry culminated, a few months later, in a shrieking onstage brawl during a performance of Bononcini's Astianatte.
		Admeto's libretto comprises an uneasy mixture of supernatural tragedy, based on Euripedes' Alcestis, and a typically Baroque farrago of switched portraits and heroines in disguise.

	Opera Today : HÄNDEL: Admetus, King of Thessaly
		Indeed, Admeto was one of the operas whose reception was shaped by the public’s fascination with and construction of the rivalries among the Italian singers.
		As Aureli fancifully imagines, Admeto’s brother Trasimede, who was supposed to arrange the marriage between Admeto and Antigona, had fallen in love with Antigona’s portrait and given his brother the King a portrait of a woman of interior beauty.
		Admeto, who allows his wife to die in his place and feels desire for her substitute, is certainly flawed, even feminized by his courageous wife.

		Admeto, King of Thessaly, is mortally ill. His brother Trasimede is reported to be sighing over the portrait of a woman (Antigona).
		When Admeto's wife Alceste prays to Apollo for his recovery, she is answered by a voice from the statue of the god: Admeto can only be saved if someone consents to die in his place.
		Admeto forgives Trasimede, who now hopes for Antigona, who has to yield her hopes of Admeto in favor of his restored wife.

		The Admeto performance preserves the style of the 1970's, when strings playing in 18th-century style tended to sound raw, tempos could be unyielding and singers were inclined to emote.

		Admeto's physical and mental torment (caused initially by his wickedness as king) and Alceste's sacrifice for him are replaced by a complex of disguises, misunderstandings and mistaken identities more like Xerxes.
		I think Handel comes close in Admeto to making an effective tragi-comedy of love and death that pushes at some realistic anxieties that are also absurd if you try to think about them in the abstract: how much does Admeto need to mourn Alceste (personally) given that she willingly gave her life for him?
		In Admeto, the most passionate lovers are in love with pictures not people.) Catherine Griffiths was superb as Admeto.

	Handel - Admeto / Jacobs, Yakar, Bowman, Dams, Cold, Gomez, van Egmond, Il Complesso Barocco, A. Curtis home Mortgage ...
		The title figure, Admeto, is here sung by falsettist RenÃ¯Â¿Â½ Jacobs, whose somewhat unnatural timbre can hardly be compared with that of the castrato Senesino who originally sang this role in 1727.
		The Handelian scheme of recitative and aria gives both of them plenty to do and chances to show off their voices in very varied moods, and in the end I would adjudge the result to be a tie.
		James Bowman gives a typically mellifluous touch to Trasimede, the brother of Admeto, and the hunting air 'Se l'arco avessi, e i strali' is worthy of any Handel recording even today.

		Admeto is the story of Alcestis, a character also used in an opera by Gluck.
		The story begins as a variant of the familiar Orpheus legend, but with a different spin: King Admetus of Thessaly is the victim of a fatal illness and an oracle tells him that he can recover only if someone close to him volunteers to die in his place.
		Admeto is a most interesting opera from Handel's maturity.

	Term Paper on Analysis of Handel's Admeto
		Analysis of Handel's Admeto In the beginning of the 18th century opera seria developed into a vibrant art form, and took a center stage in operatic performance of London.
		The action in Admeto is presented through the medium of secco recitative, while the aria serves to explore the feelings of the character, and shows off the talents of the singer performing each one.
		In taking a closer look at the masterful use of Baroque ideas in Admeto, it is not hard to see how Handel rose to prominence on the operatic stage.

		With a major exception: “Luce care” (“Dearest eyes”), Alceste’s exquisite, plangent lullaby, in which she decides to die for Admeto.
		Admeto has a long, magnificently tormented recitative and aria.
		Admeto was the dark-voiced and dramatic American countertenor Jeffrey Gall; his brother was the lyric countertenor Drew Minter.

		Matters reach a considerable degree of complication before all can end in the necessary relative happiness, with Antigona possibly to be united with Thrasymedes, or so he now hopes, and Alcestis now certainly restored to her husband Admetus.
		As with many of Handel's operas, Admeto underwent various changes to suit different theatrical circumstances.
		Audiences were loudly divided in their support for the two rival sopranos, at the expense of the drama.

		Then for many years Alan Curtis virtually disappeared from the recording business, but in recent years he has returned to Handel opera with an increased appetite with recordings of Rodrigo in 1999, prize-winning recordings of Arminio in 2001 and Deidamia in 2003, as well as several recital discs.
		So I got lots of physicists, and now they are prize-winning physicists, or famous in their field, but they come up to me and say “You taught me to love Handel’s music, and I still do!”.
		DV: Admeto was the first Handel opera recording you made in the late 1970s.

		I was particularly impressed by Sandrine Piau, who produced beautiful legato in every aria, and seamless dazzling colaratura, particularly in E per monte, e per piano.
		The duet between Admeto and Antigone (the only ensemble singing besides the final chorus), Alma mia dolce ristoro, was purely lovely.
		Deborah York was not nearly as secure to my ears, producing some rather squeaky tones in the top on occasions.

		2) Admeto, Re di Tessaglia: Ballo di Larve.
		On this disc of opera arias by Handel, he gives the impression that the composer had him in mind when he wrote them, so completely does he get under the skin of each one.
		He is accompanied by the Akademie für Alte Music, who match his phrasing with almost shocking accuracy and support him with effortless ease.

		This recording first appeared at the end of the 1970s on LP and this is the first Admeto to make it onto CD.
		Whilst Historically Informed Performances have moved on considerably with the passing of over two decades since first release (the oboes and violins sound abrasive by today's standards), and approaches to recitative have changed, nevertheless this is a sound and rewarding recording.
		This Admeto features Rene Jacobs in the title role, with Rachel Yakar as his queen Alceste; Ulrik Cold is Hercules, Rita Dams is in the trousers role as Orindo a gentleman at Admeto's court; Jill Gomez is Antigona a trojan princess and James Bowman is Admeto's brother Trasimede.

		Though Christophe Rousset (CR) hasn’t recorded that much of Handel’s music, he regularly conducts Handel operas, ranging from the famous ones (Giulio Cesare, Alcina, Admeto) to some of the less famous ones (Scipione, Riccardo primo, Arianna in Creta).
		Philippe Gelinaud (PG) met him at the Café de Flore in Saint-Germain in Paris in March 2004, on the day of a Handel opera arias concert with soprano Sandrine Piau that has also been recorded for CD by Naïve.
		CR: If I’m not wrong, I have conducted nine Handel operas: Scipione, Admeto, Alcina, Giulio Cesare, Riccardo primo, Rinaldo, Tamerlano, Arianna in Creta and Serse.
