Adore Händel’s Cautionary Tales
Everyone’s favourite pansexual, time-travelling songbird returns with a cabaret steeped in desire, decadence, and delicious disaster. Adore Händel revisits centuries of passion — the fleeting glances, the grand gestures, and the glorious mistakes that make history blush. Blending operatic splendour with pop seduction, they weave a glittering tapestry of love, lust, and lingering regret — all delivered with wicked wit and a velvet voice made for sin.
