No known literary source has been linked directly to this opera, which is set at the time of the Trojan War. After an oracle has predicted the death of Achilles at Troy, Achilles disguises himself as a woman and takes refuge at the court of Lycomedes, whose daughter Deidamia falls in love with the young Greek. Amorous developments and tricks of disguise expose the truth and Achilles is forced to take his place at the side of his countrymen in the battle against the Trojans. Comedy and tragedy are bedfellows in this opera, and the title role in particular covers the entire expressive spectrum, from flirtatious love song to heartfelt lament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_15991875-8514-44b1-841f-4f09f0e23f2e_480x480.png?v=1634661383\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"review\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"With this production, the Netherlands Opera once again meets with distinction its obligation to perform Baroque works.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(The New York Times)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"OPUS ARTE","offers":[{"title":"Matthews\/Cangemi\/Concerto Köln","offer_id":42211650896122,"sku":"809478010883","price":4.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/71E5_VWtJBL._SL1200.jpg?v=1639760756","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/copy-of-handel-deidamia-concerto-koln-netherlands-opera-blu-ray-dvd","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
