On Wednesday, it was announced that Alan Curtis had passed away. The founder and director of Il Complesso Barocco, Curtis was instrumental in the restoration and performance of many forgotten operas by Vivaldi, Handel, and more. Tune in to Saturday Night At The Opera on Saturday July 18th to hear his 2011 recording of Handel's Ariodante. His second recording (in just five years) features an all-star cast led by American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato in the title role. Stepan Atamian hosts.
