The great love between Acis and Galatea has been the subject of poems, paintings, operas, and statues throughout the centuries. When the jealous cyclops Polyphemus becomes crazed by his unrequited love for the sea-nymph Galatea, he kills her beloved, the mortal Acis. Devastated, Galatea transforms Acis into a river, in which she can live with him, forever united. Ultimately, in this timeless myth, love endures and overcomes all, even death. This is ultimately a great love story—infused with Handel’s “music of exquisite beauty.”

A opera in one act for 3 singers and chamber orchestra, with a running time of 90 minutes, first performed in 1708. It is a very compressed piece, full of virtuosic arias, duets, and trios – a great vocal showcase for each singer. Polyphemus’ dramatic entrance aria, “Sibilar gli angui d’Aletto” is one of Handel’s most famous and beloved arias. As with many of his Italian compositions, Handel lifted whole arias from this opera for use in later operas – Agrippina (1709), Rinaldo (1711), Il pastor fido (1712), Teseo (1713), Poro (1733), and Atalanta (1736).
