Pittsburgh in the Round: Pittsburgh Opera’s Resident Artist Program unveiled its first production of the season last night at the CAPA Theater – Georg Frideric Händel’s largely neglected Richard the Lionheart. Händel composed the music to an Italian language libretto by Paolo Antonio Rolli, and as Riccardo primo, re d’Inghilterra (“Richard the First, King of England”), it premiered at the King’s Theater, London, in November 1727.
