Caramoor Summer Festival: Handel’s Acts & Galatea
We’ve all been there … you (Galatea) are madly in love (with that hottie, Acis), when a jealous monster destroys your relationship with one smash of a boulder. Rather than mope about it, you use your magic powers to transform your (now deceased) lover into a beautiful fountain that flows eternally! This pastoral opera premiered in 1718 and remains one of Handel’s most popular dramatic works. Join Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra — recognized as “America’s leading historically informed ensemble” (The New York Times) — and some of opera’s most revered voices in this fully costumed presentation, surrounded by Caramoor’s serene gardens.
