Composer: George Frideric Handel
Conductor: William Lacey

In the 126th role of his extraordinary career, Placido Domingo tackles one of the earliest of the great tenor roles, and proves that a vocal style steeped in romance and passion can be right at home in the sometimes ethereal world of Baroque opera. David Daniels and Sarah Coburn also contribute to a truly stellar cast.

Cast: Placido Domingo (Bajazet); David Daniels (Tamerlano); Sarah Coburn (Asteria); Patricia Bardon (Andronico); Claudio Huckle (Irene); Andrew Foster Williams (Leone)
