The Reverend Thomas Morell crafted this poignant libretto, which was masterfully set to music by George Frederick Handel and first performed at Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1752. Drawing inspiration from the Old Testament book of Judges, the tale follows Jephtha, a valiant military leader of the Israelites, who makes a harrowing vow to the Almighty if granted victory, he will sacrifice the first living being he encounters upon his return. Tragically, that being turns out to be his beloved daughter, Iphis, forcing him to confront an unimaginable dilemma—honor his vow to God or save his own child. (Summary by Alan Mapstone) Cast List Jephtha Alan Mapstone Zebul Larry Wilson Storgé Sonia Iphis Agnes Robert Behr Hamor Adrian Stephens Angel Rapunzelina Chorus of Israelites Greg Giordano Chorus of Virgins Rapunzelina Chorus of Priests Inkell Narration Elsie Selwyn Audio Editor Alan Mapstone
