Soprano Lauren Snouffer performs as Tirsi in Ars Lyrica Houston's performance of Handel's oratorio "Clori, Tirsi, e Fileno."

00:44 Aria: Quell’erbetta

This delightful musical romp includes spectacular arias that the composer later borrowed for his Italian operas. A cast of young operatic stars, all singing en travesti as the opposite gender, brings a new twist to this timeless story of a wily shepherdess and her two suitors.
