These short-lived beauties pop up to add color to the landscape before trees overhead block the light. The tram will drive through the garden, and we will make many walking stops along the way.

Music by George Frideric Handel Libretto by Paolo Rolli
“True, I’m a lover. But though a lover, I’m a Monarch too.”
Part romance, part pageant, pure Handel. On their limited US tour, The English Concert presents Alessandro. Brimming with vocal athletics and unparalleled musicianship, Handel’s Alexander the Great juggles a love triangle with global conquest and political conspiracy.
This rarely performed Handel opera has only been performed in the United States once before now. The world’s peerless Baroque orchestra brings this rare gem to Omaha with authentic period instruments and vocal fireworks.
