An
Acis and Galatea
without sparkle in Versailles
Vesna Gerintes, 8th July
Handel’s original version of Acis and Galatea was written in 1717–18 at Cannons, a stately home in Middlesex. Composed with light orchestration, it was not meant to be performed in an opera theatre, but rather in this private mansion.
