Darmstadt – Staatstheater – 15, 29 septembre 2002, 3, 29 octobre 2002, 12, 24, 30 novembre 2002 – dir. Raoul Grüneis – mise en scène Rosamunde Gilmore
Arno Raunig gave a flawless countertenor performance as Ruggiero and, after being rescued by Bradamante, surprised the audience with a footbath and a genuine Schuhplattler (The Schuhplattler is a traditional style of folk dance popular in the Eastern Alps, specifically originating in Upper Bavaria, Tyrol, and Salzburg). Some Baroque purists may have been shocked, but most people enjoyed it.
