our original mission statement of promoting Handel’s music and always thinking
               about the longevity of every project. I hope that with this production we’ve created

               the possibility of taking it to other places – at a time when the pandemic and Brexit
               make large-scale touring very difficult, with a smaller ensemble and a very powerful

               message and music, my hope is that this project can have a longer life than just this
               broadcast.


               The pandemic affected every aspect of the planning of this project. For us it was
               smaller-scale than many of the other projects we’ve embarked on – concerts at the

               Forbidden City for example – but in the time of Covid every small detail had to be
               considered in myriad ways. What we’ve achieved I hope is something beautiful, that

               will give audiences a sense of optimism for the future – and what could be more
               hopeful than seeing these wonderful musicians performing this extraordinary and
               very rarely heard piece of music?


               Handel’s La Resurrezione will be broadcast on SKY ARTS on Monday May 3, at
