England's Anna Stephany performs Dopo notte from Handel's Ariodante, in concert two of the 2009 competition.

Ariodante and Ginevra are in love. Their relationship is sabotaged by Polinesso, who wants Ginevra for himself and sets events in motion to show Ariodante that Ginevra is unfaithful. After much intrigue, disguise, duelling and false rumours, Polinesso confesses his guilt. Ariodante sings of his joy that, after the night of nightmares, the sun of happiness has risen. The part was originally written for the celebrated castrato, Carestini.
