Helen heads to Andorra for the second edition of Festival Classicand to sing Piacere in their staging of Handel’s Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno.

Place du Consell hosts the performance of one of Handel's most beautiful works. In the summer of 1707, at the age of twenty-two, the composer created this work where beauty lives under the spell of pleasure, thinking that nothing will ever change, until time and disillusionment make her see what life really is. In this piece, we will reflect on the world of fashion and appearances, in a society which has made the image one of the most powerful weapons and elevated appearance to the rank of religion or almost. Performed by the Vespres d'Arnadí Baroque Orchestra, the work offers reflections entirely in tune with our times, with one of the brilliant musician's most inspired compositions.
