| This was the second revival of David Alden's much praised production of Handel's Ariodante at English National Opera/Alden's production requires Ariodante to sing this aria sliding down the side of the roof-dome from which he has been shown the deception.(Review Ariodante) |
| Alden turns the opera into a study of the relationship between desire and power and the abuses attendant on both. The influence of Marat/Sade looms large as the characters enact a sequence of aggressive sexual games that slowly spiral out of control.(Review Ariodante 2) |
