Description
Forces: alto, strings & continuo
Tolomeo’s ‘Poison’ aria from Act III, scene iv of Handel’s opera of the same name which was completed in 1728. Tolomeo believes himself to be betrayed and has taken what he thinks is poison, passing out before he can complete the truncated da capo of the aria. There is an excellent secco and accompagnato recitative which preceeds the aria.
