Rodelinda
Radio 3's second visit to Glyndebourne this year is for a production of one of Handel's finest heroic operas. Emma Bell takes the title role of Rodelinda, who believes her husband
Bertarido to be dead and who lives with her son in the clutches of the usurper Grimoaldo; he in turn is betrothed to Bertarido's sister Eduige. But Grimoaldo has set his sights on making Rodelinda his queen, and his evil sidekick Garibaido has designs on Eduige. So a disguised Bertarido sets about rescuing his wife and son with the help of his faithful friend Unulfo. Presented by Stephanie Hughes.
