Told with some of Handel’s most delightful music, Alcina is the story of an enchantress who uses her magical powers to bewitch a young knight and keep him captive on her island in a wild, messy story of love and deception. This production is presented by the SFCM Historical Performance program and features students from both the Voice program and Baroque Ensemble.
