About This Song

About "Serse, HWV 40, Act I Scene 13: Aria. Sapra delle mie offese (Amastre)" by Chor Der Bayerischen Staatsoper

Handel's Amastre seethes in 'Sapra delle mie offese'—a aria of wounded pride and icy resolve. The chorus recedes as her voice coils like a whip: betrayed love sharpened into vengeance. Baroque ornamentation becomes a weapon, each trill a calculated strike.
