One of Handel's rare ventures into comedy, Xerxes parodies the conventions of opera seria. Love triangles, swaggering heroism, and all manner of operatic pretensions receive a playful tweaking in a subtle treatment that never descends into farce. This new edition of Handel's innovative work offers an authoritative, practical, and inexpensive resource.
Reprint of the F. W. Chrysander, 1884 edition.
