Opera Atelier: Handel's Acis and Galatea

Handel’s Acis and Galatea is one of the composer’s most beloved and successful operas.

The story of the water nymph Galatea and her love for the Arcadian shepherd Acis comes from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and is full of all of the sensuality and humour we associate with 18th century storytelling at its very best.

Opera Atelier is revisiting Acis and Galatea for the first time since 2010 with their 2024 production, and will be showcasing two notable company debuts: French tenors Antonin Rondepierre as Acis and Blaise Rantoanina as Damon. The role of Galatea will be portrayed by Opera Atelier audience favourite soprano, Meghan Lindsay, who makes her role debut, with bass baritone Douglas Williams singing the role of the lovesick cyclops, Polyphemus. The production will also feature new choreography by Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg, performed by the full corps of the Artists of Atelier Ballet.

Sung in English and featuring some of Handel’s most ravishing music for singing and dancing, Acis and Galatea is the perfect introduction to opera and ballet for the entire family.
