Josephine Shaw - Tornami A Vagheggiar (Alcina) by H. F. Handel

As part of Hertfordshire Opera's Opera Gala Evening Josephine Shaw performed Tornami A Vagheggiar, an aria from Handel’s opera Alcina which plays out like a modern day romcom. Morgana, who is absolutely besotted with Ruggiero, has misconstrued his actions, thinking that he reciprocates her romantic feelings. She waxes lyrical about her love for him and how wonderful a couple they will be, not knowing that Ruggiero is actually a woman in disguise and wholly uninterested.
