Helikon addresses to baroque music and Handel's opera "Orlando", until now not presented on any Moscow stage, at last will find its place in the opera world of the Russian capital. However, in Helikon the performance is titled “Orlando, Orlando”. The director Georgy Isaakyan with the composer Gabriel Prokofiev, the specialist in baroque music Andrew Lawrence-King and the set designer from Austria Hartmut Schorghofer are creating the new reality, which unites the marvelous Handel’s composition and the tragic story, happened in Orlando (Florida, USA). The “Orlando, Orlando” performance will force us to take a thought about many things, but the main message is in to explore how far is it possible to go into your illusions and yourself "otherness"? Are we ready to accept the world as it is in the real life?
