Handel's gripping dramatic oratorio resonates through the fingertips of a leading Baroque ensemble and the voices of the Clarion Choir.

The English Concert returns under the direction of Harry Bicket with Handel's Hercules—a rarely performed oratorio that blends the grandeur of myth with the intimacy of human emotion.

Part opera, part tragedy, Hercules tells the story of a hero's return home and the unraveling that follows, moving from fiery arias to aching laments and capturing a volatile mix of emotions. 

Known for their clarity and precision, The English Concert will be joined by the critically acclaimed Clarion Choir—praised for their radiant blend of sound—and their founder, the visionary conductor and Juilliard-trained Steven Fox '00, as well as a cast of renowned soloists to bring this dramatic work to life.

Join us for a pre-show talk.
