Hercules returns from the siege of Oechaly with a war hostage, the young Iole. Faced with the beautiful prisoner and driven by jealousy, Dejanira attempts to secure her husband\u2019s fidelity with a gift. She goes mad as she realizes the centaur Nessus\u2019 precious tunic is poisoned and that she has accidentally killed her husband. Hercules contains some of the composer\u2019s most innovative pieces, such as the chorus \u201cJealousy infernal pest.\u201d\nHandel always wanted this oratorio in English to be considered a musical drama. In order to reinforce the\ndramatic tension and to give Hercules its operatic colors, David Stern proposes an interpretation based on the original manuscript and the reworkings that Handel made in 1749 and 1752.\nOpera Fuoco and David Stern collaborate with the Namur Chamber Choir to honor the greatest hero in Greco-Roman mythology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-divider aligncenter stk-block-divider has-text-align-left stk-block stk-91407c5\" data-block-id=\"91407c5\"><style>.stk-91407c5{margin-bottom:41px !important}<\/style><hr class=\"stk-block-divider__hr\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">ARTISTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>David Stern<\/em> - MUSICAL DIRECTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guest Soloists<\/strong><br><em>Edwin Crossley-Mercer<\/em> &#8211; HERCULES<br><em>Avery<\/em> <em>Amereau<\/em> &#8211; DEJANIRA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Current &amp; former soloists from the Opera Fuoco Young Artists Program<\/strong> <strong>Opera Fuoco<\/strong><br><em>Tha\u00efs Ra\u00ef-Westphal<\/em> &#8211; IOLE<br><em>Bastien Rimondi<\/em> &#8211; HYLLUS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opera Fuoco Orchestra<\/strong><br><strong>Namur Chamber Choir<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\" class=\"has-custom-size\">DURATION : 2H45 (with intermission)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HERCULES &#8211; HANDEL 21 OCTOBRE 2026 &#8211; 19H00THEATER AN DER WIEN &#8211; VIENNE VERSION CONCERTANTE (1745) Monument de la trag\u00e9die grecque Les Trachiniennes de Sophocle&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5752,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","kk_blocks_editor_width":"","_kiokenblocks_attr":"","_kiokenblocks_dimensions":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[118,58],"class_list":["post-5733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-operas","tag-coming","tag-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES.png",3000,3000,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-300x300.png",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-768x768.png",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1024x1024.png",843,843,true],"thumblist":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-300x300.png",300,300,true],"meccarouselthumb":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-474x324.png",474,324,true],"gridsquare":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-391x260.png",391,260,true],"tileview":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-300x400.png",300,400,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1536x1536.png",1536,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-2048x2048.png",2048,2048,true],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-12x12.png",12,12,true],"qubely_landscape":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1200x750.png",1200,750,true],"qubely_portrait":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-540x320.png",540,320,true],"qubely_thumbnail":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-140x100.png",140,100,true],"vp_sm":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-500x500.png",500,500,true],"vp_md":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-800x800.png",800,800,true],"vp_lg":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1280x1280.png",1280,1280,true],"vp_xl":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1920x1920.png",1920,1920,true],"vp_sm_popup":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-500x500.png",500,500,true],"vp_md_popup":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-800x800.png",800,800,true],"vp_xl_popup":["https:\/\/operafuoco.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/HERCULES-1920x1920.png",1920,1920,true]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>HERCULES &#8211; HANDEL 21 OCTOBRE 2026 &#8211; 19H00THEATER AN DER WIEN &#8211; VIENNE VERSION CONCERTANTE (1745) Monument de la trag\u00e9die grecque Les Trachiniennes de Sophocle immortalise le drame intemporel de la jalousie conjugale.
