About Partenope

Follow the charming and confident Partenope as three suitors - Arsace, Armindo, and the mysterious Eurimene - compete for her attention in a whirlwind of passion, secrets, and unexpected twists. Love triangles, hidden identities, and a fierce quest for revenge create a tangled web of intrigue in this timeless tale.
With non-stop parties, flowing cocktails, stylish disguises, and a captivating game of love, Partenope delivers a dazzling mix of humour, elegance, and drama. Handel’s brilliant score brings the emotional highs and lows to life, perfectly matching the glamour and complexity of this seductive setting.
