Join Voxalis Opera for a new staged production of Handel's first oratorio, The Triumph of Time and Truth, featuring a stunning cast of baroque singers.
About this performance
Enter an 1800s asylum where Time, Truth, and Pleasure battle for Beauty’s soul in Voxalis Opera’s haunting new production. Seduced by Pleasure into a world of indulgence, Beauty faces a harrowing psychological journey as Time and Truth challenge her to confront her deepest fears. As reality blurs, Beauty is forced to choose between the fleeting ecstasy of Pleasure and the ‘eternal wisdom’ of Truth and Time. A visceral, high-stakes odyssey unfolds, where every moment pulses with the tension between light and shadow, sanity and madness.
Experience Handel's masterful compositions at their finest in this oratorio, with the enchanting aria Lascia la spina as a standout, showcasing one of opera's most renowned melodies, now known as Lascia ch'io pianga from Rinaldo.
Do not miss this mesmerizing exploration of the human psyche, presented in a staged format, featuring some of Queensland's most accomplished baroque singers. Immerse yourself in the timeless themes and exquisite music of this unique production.
