Chief amongst these is Anna Bonitatibus as a fiercely confident and vocally agile Agrippina (her opening number “L’alma mia fra le tempeste” was astonishing), whose expressive range fully inhabited a changing persona; her self-doubt in “Pensieri” was as compelling as her fake devotion in “Se vuoi pace, o volto amato”.

And in Anna Bonitatibus the title role is incarnated to perfection: manipulative, imperious, yet at the same time racked by doubt, this charismatic Italian mezzo dominates the production with massive vocal power.

Dominating everything was Anna Bonitatibus as the puppet-master Agrippina, who handled Handel’s big set-piece virtuoso arias with magnificent aplomb.
