George Frideric Handel

In eighteenth-century London, a young orphan who sings like an angel but is unable to speak is befriended by the great composer, George Frederick Handel, and finds his way home.

Complemented by a CD recording conducted by Alan Curtis, a literary, visual, and musical exploration of Handel's arias shares insights into the animal themes within his arias, tracing twelve animals through history, mythology, and Handel's operas.
