Acis and Galatea -  (Acis y Galatea)

This ten venue nationwide tour of Handel's pastoral tale Acis and Galatea with Music Director Peter Whelan and director Tom Creed and featuring the Irish Baroque Orchestra took place in Spring 2017.

Written in 1717, one of Handel’s most treasured works, Acis and Galatea is a high point of baroque repertoire. It tells a pastoral tale of the love between Galatea and Acis. Their joy and passion for each other is established through lyrical arias and joyous ensembles. But things become darker with the arrival of Polyphemus, who is determined to have Galatea for himself. Acis ignores the warnings that love is a fleeting pleasure and ends up facing the wrath of Polyphemus.

In this production with renowned baroque specialist Peter Whelan as Music Director and accompanied by the dazzling Irish Baroque Orchestra, tenor Eamonn Mulhall and soprano Susanna Fairbairn perform the thwarted lovers with bass baritone Edward Grint as Polyphemus and tenor Andrew Gavin as Damon.

Handel’s glorious music – full of emotion, wit and soaring melodies is both elegant and exciting and the enchanting choruses, touching arias, and comic moments in Acis and Galatea enthrall and delight.

Sung in English, Acis and Galatea is directed by Tom Creed, with stage design by Paul O’Mahony, lighting design by Aedín Cosgrove and costume design by Catherine Fay. 

The performance on Wed 29th March was a concert performance in St. Brendan’s Church, Bantry and is produced in association with West Cork Music.
