Hallelujah! Something different for a change.

Graduate students of Westminster Opera Theatre will be presenting Handel’s first oratorio, “Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno” (“The Triumph of Time and Disillusionment”), in Italian with English supertitles, in two performances with orchestra, at Yvonne Theater, Rider University, in Lawrenceville, today and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. A third, free performance will take place, with piano, Sunday at 4 p.m.

The oratorio will be staged as an opera, with the allegorical figures of Pleasure, Time and Truth in pursuit of Beauty.
