Händel on Hands

A circus-musical adventure from Sweden

“HÄNDEL ON HANDS” IS A MAGICAL CIRCUS-MUSICAL-OPERA ADVENTURE that invites the whole family to experience the wonders of George Frideric Handel’s music in a completely new way. The breathtaking performances by circus artists, musicians, and opera singers take the audience on a dramatic journey through the elements—fire, water, air, and earth. Handel on Hands is a groundbreaking dream project involving a cellist, a tenor, a circus director, acrobats, violinists, a foot juggler, and a clown who likes to climb in and out of balloons and swallow sharp objects that aren’t good for him. Directed by Tilde Björfors, the founder and longtime director of the legendary CIRKUS CIRKÖR from
Sweden. The singer is Thomas Volle, a German tenor who lives in Sweden and performs as a guest artist at many opera houses and concert halls in Germany.
