The New York City Opera has been particularly hospitable to Handel, but its productions come and go, often bursting onto the New York State Theater stage for a season and then disappearing. Its ìAgrippinaî was first seen in 2002, after a 2001 showing at the Glimmerglass Opera, which co-produced it. It has been scarce since then, but on Sunday afternoon Lillian Groagís ultramodern staging returned to the repertory.
