Acis and Galatea Händel

Baroque specialists Christian Curnyn and the Early Opera Company bring this popular dramatic work to Buxton after winning the opera category of the BBC Music Magazine Awards in 2019 for their exquisite recording of Acis and Galatea. Director Martin Constantine has gained five-star reviews for his work with Longborough Festival Opera and Welsh National Opera (WNO). His production of Paul Bunyan, for WNO, won a Royal Philharmonia Society Award and was nominated for a South Bank Sky Arts Award.

Described by The Times as a ’delectable soprano and a serene, ever-sentient presence’, Anna Dennis is especially noted for her work in Modern and Baroque repertoire. Previous opera stages include Royal Opera House, English National Opera, La Scala, Göttingen and Aldeburgh.

Nick Pritchard is currently both a Samling Artist and a member of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s ‘Rising Stars’ scheme. 

Libretto by John Gay. Sung in English with side-titles.
