It charts the rise and fall of a femme fatale “created to make trouble”, from life as a society hostess to prostitution and eventual bloody death at the hands of Jack the Ripper. Berg’s score is intensely beautiful, and the rich characterisation brilliantly executed.

Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true surround sound, the outstanding singing of the all-star cast, led superbly by Sarah Connolly, and the vivid playing of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the energising baton of William Christie reveal the colour and dramatic character of Handels music in a most delightful manner.
