{"product_id":"lotario","title":"Handel: Lotario","description":"Handel's success with Italian-style opera in London had passed it's initial peak by 1729. Lotario - a tale of revenge and heroism based on events in the life of Holy Roman Empress Adelaide of Italy - was the first of a new series of works intended to revive interest and challenge society's new 'vile taste' for satire and light entertainment. Despite being one of Handel's least-known operas, it displays his renowned talent for writing convincing drama with melodically rich and emotionally charged arias. This live recording is performed on period instruments by the Handelfestspielorchester Halle.","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49309950443800,"sku":"730099057073","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4387237-3295409.jpg?v=1777492645","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/lotario","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
