Helena Rasker (Mezzosopran) - Knut Schoch (Tenor) - Tom Sol (Bass) - Marco Schweizer (Tenor) - Kölner Kammerchor - Collegium Cartusianum - Peter Neumann (Dir) // Written in the summer of 1749, Theodora was premiered in London at Covent Garden Theatre on 16 March 1750. This work, which Handel considered his finest oratorio, was a failure at first - Handel said bitterly that the hall was so empty that "there was room enough to dance there."
