About Partenope
Step into the glamorous world of Partenope, where romance, deception, and desire collide in a sparkling 1920s Paris salon. Follow the charming and confident Partenope as three suitors - Arsace, Armindo, and the mysterious Eurimene - compete for her attention in a whirlwind of passion, secrets, and unexpected twists. Love triangles, hidden identities, and a fierce quest for revenge create a tangled web of intrigue in this timeless tale.
With non-stop parties, flowing cocktails, stylish disguises, and a captivating game of love, Partenope delivers a dazzling mix of humour, elegance, and drama. Handel’s brilliant score brings the emotional highs and lows to life, perfectly matching the glamour and complexity of this seductive setting. Ideal for fans of romantic comedies, period dramas, and unforgettable music, Partenope is a must-see opera full of charm, wit, and irresistible energy.
