« Theodora » de Haendel : Christophe Rousset dirige le Monteverdi Choir et les English Baroque Soloists
**Theodora** is an oratorio by George Frideric Handel, premiered in 1750, telling the story of a Christian martyr in Roman-ruled Antioch who chooses faith and love over survival. Though a Handel favorite among connoisseurs, it was a box-office failure in his lifetime and is now celebrated for its deeply moving arias and meditation on religious persecution and redemption.
