Handel's Acis and Galatea, is one of Handel's most popular dramatic masques. A pastoral delight with a dark thread of drama, this charming tale of good versus bad features two lovers and evil cyclops Polyphemus. Highlights include a virtuosic recorder part in the famous aria 'O ruddier than the cherry'.
Star tenor Nick Pritchard will play hero Acis with baritone Andrew Davies as wicked Polyphemus, and soprano Elspeth Pigott and tenor Joseph Taylor as Galatea and Damon. Conducted by John Hancorn with the Baroque Collective and Baroque Collective Singers.
