George Frederick Handel was an accomplished composer of the Baroque era. He wrote an extensive amount of repertoire, including operas, cantatas, large instrumental works and chamber music pieces. Consistent with the musical style of his time, Handel’s works are stately and ornamented, with a great number of his pieces written for the British court. Handel’s opera, Xerxes, premiered in London in 1738 and is categorized as an opera seria. The libretto was written in Italian, and the lead role of Xerxes was traditionally performed by a castrato. Today, however, Xerxes is typically cast by a female mezzo-soprano voice.

Set in Persia in the 400s, Xerxes details the life and complicated relationships of King Xerxes I. As the all-powerful king, Xerxes uses his authority to get his way.
