Rinaldo
Based on Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata, this Italian opera, the first that Handel wrote for London audiences, immediately enjoyed great success. It is true that Rinaldo had all the necessary crowd-pleasing ingredients, especially the attraction of novelty and the surprising exoticism that the music expresses through its richly colorful orchestration.
