Conducted by David Bates together with an all-star cast, this co-production with Royal Ballet and Opera promises to enchant both seasoned Handel lovers and newcomers alike.

In a landmark moment, this new production brings Giustino back to its original home at Covent Garden for the first time since its 1737 premiere - and marks the first professional UK staging in nearly three centuries.

Joining forces with acclaimed British theatre and opera director Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Marriage of Figaro, ENO; Ghosts, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse), this fresh interpretation traces a young hero’s journey from youthful courage to the complexities of adulthood.

Step into the magical world of Handel’s Giustino, a hidden gem of the Baroque stage. Overflowing with musical brilliance and a story full of wonder, this rarely performed opera is a true treasure of the repertoire.
