The English Concert returns to Opera Omaha to perform Handel’s spectacular Hercules. Fresh from battle, Hercules returns home victorious, but his wife Dejanira is consumed by fear that he has been unfaithful. Her jealousy sets off a tragic chain of events that no amount of glory or strength can stop. With Handel’s soaring arias and powerful choruses, Hercules reminds us that the devastating consequences of mistrust can bring even the mightiest to their knees.

Returning to Nebraska as part of their three-stop U.S. tour, The English Concert, under the leadership of conductor Harry Bicket, brings some of the world’s finest musicians to Omaha.
