Handel's hilarious comic opera which opens with King Xerxes' famous love song (Handel's largo) to a tree!

But the laughs don't stop there, the entire plot is a series of bungled love trysts and triangles; scheming sisters and brothers, and confused parents and servants. It's not often you hear such glorious music and enjoy a good laugh at the same time.
