GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL (1685-1759): Admeto Re di Tessaglia

Description: Live recording from the 2006 Handel Festival, this staging is set in a modern-day mental institution. The package includes the recording on CD as well, although the difference between the 196 min. on DVD and 114 on CD is beyond my time-frame to figure out. 2 DVDs and 2 CDs. English subtitles. Matthias Rexroth, Tim Mead (countertenors), Romelia Lichtenstein, Mechthild Bach (sopranos), Handel Festival Orchestra; Howard Arman.
