Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno – an oratorio by Handel.<br />
These four young singers at the start of their professional careers<br />
recently studied Handel’s first oratorio, Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno,<br />
at an early-music summer school in France. But they shared<br />
roles with other singers and never got to sing the whole piece. So<br />
they’ve decided to perform it in <strong>Lewes</strong>, with John Hancorn and the<br />
Baroque Collective. There’s no chorus, so the four soloists and fine<br />
period players take centre stage in a tale of ‘conflict between earthly<br />
pleasures and divine grace’. It’s wonderful music, some of which Handel<br />
used in later works including Giulio Cesare. “<strong>Lewes</strong> is always really responsive and knowledgeable,<br />
we knew it would be the perfect venue,” says mezzo Thalie Knights, whose father lives in the town. The<br />
singers, none of whom are taking a fee, are crowdfunding to help with costs. Expect a fabulous evening.<br />
