King Xerxes is the most powerful man in Persia, so why can’t he get Romilda to marry him? The sensational American countertenor Key’mon Murrah stars in Handel’s tongue-in-cheek 1738 masterpiece about love and the limits of power. Dame Jane Glover conducts, in Tazewell Thompson’s vivid, color-soaked production.
