John Beard (1716-1791) was an English tenor for whom Handel (1685-1759) wrote many of the male leads in his operas. In Handel's and Beard's time, major operatic roles were more typically written for castrato roles, so writing major roles for tenor voice was a speciality that made John Beard a superstar of his time. This concert features arias written by Handel for John Beard, as well as overtures from operas in which Beard gave acclaimed performances.
