About This Song
About "Ariodante HWV 33 / Act 3 : Handel: Ariodante HWV 33 / Act 3: "Cieca notte, infidi sguardi" (Live)" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Blind night and treacherous glances: Handel paints a chiaroscuro of betrayal. Von Otter’s live performance is a study in controlled fury, mezzo gleaming through orchestral murk. The emotional tug-of-war—calm exterior versus inner turmoil—evokes a moonless garden where every whisper could be a lie.
