Hercules
Hercules is an English oratorio composed by Georg Friedrich Händel, with a libretto by Reverend Thomas Broughton, first performed on January 5, 1745, at the King's Theatre in London. The work is based on the mythological tale of Hercules and Deianira, drawing from Ovid's Metamorphoses and Sophocles' tragedy The Trachinians. Notable for its dramatic narrative and musical composition, this oratorio explores themes of love, betrayal, and heroism.
