The program of the “Amate Stelle” album was born from the great love of soprano Marie Lys for the music written by Handel for Anna Maria Strada Del Po. Handel’s librettist Paolo Rolli said of Po: “She sings better than the two previous ones!” referring to the famous divas Cuzzoni and Bordoni, for expressive, dramatic and technical qualities.
No doubt that “la Stradina” was Handel’s “Prima Donna” and “Favorita”. He wrote hundreds of pages of incredible music for her, including the main character of his opera “Alcina”.

This pyrotechnic concert program for soprano and orchestra presents in world premiere gorgeous opera arias written by these composers, together with a selection of masterpieces by Handel.
