The Sixteen - Acis and Galatea

Harry Christophers conductor

The Sixteen return to Temple Church with a glorious performance of Handel’s Acis and Galatea. Handel’s pastoral opera is a tale of tragedy, eternal love and liberation, telling the story of the mortal Acis, the goddess Galatea and their love doomed by the cyclops Polyphemus. It was the first full-scale work that Handel set to an English language text and he would only have had a small number of singers and musicians at his disposal. Harry Christophers will stay true to the premiere performance in 1718, using a small group of five singers and nine instrumentalists.
