Join cast and creatives in discussion on Jetske Mijnssen’s new production of Handel’s Ariodante.

Two performers embrace as though dancing in the middle of a duck-egg blue painted wooden panelled room with two white lights hanging from the ceiling. She is barefooted and wears a black short chiffon dress and has long blonde hair. He is wearing a blue shirt, brown leather trousers and brown boots. Her right arms stretches up to his neck and he holds her arm passionately.

As Jetske Mijnssen’s new production of Handel's Ariodante prepares for the stage, cast and creatives come together in this exclusive Insight to explore the composer's rich and thrilling opera.
