Oratorio in three parts

Libretto by Thomas Morell

There are some works that exert a lifelong hold over their creators. One such is The Triumph of Time and Truth. George Frideric Handel wrote the Italian-language original version for Rome. Precisely 50 years later, only a few years before he died, he returned to the piece. In 1757, the composer had been commissioned to write a new work for London. However, since he was nearly blind by this point, he fell back on an existing composition and revised it. Following their interpretation of the original Italian version Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno at the MusikTheater an der Wien in the 2023/24 season, Rubén Dubrovsky and his Bach Consort Wien now return with the new English version and continue their exploration of the Handel universe.
