"Music of exquisite beauty."

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 great love story is "a celebration of Handel's inexhaustible genius."

"At least the equal of Puccini."

A tiny elf, who lives within a rose in a large garden, witnesses a violent murder. Forever changed—moved, bewildered, affected—the elf strives to give comfort and closure to the victim's beloved. The incredibly rich world of Hans Christian Andersen's fantastical tale is brought to vivid life by the music of David Hertzberg, hailed as "an absolute phenomenon. Such lush, decadent musical passages and ecstatic vocal lines I've rarely heard from a young composer. Hertzberg gave us splendid moments when I was sure I was hearing something straight out of the late Romantic period." - Parterre

Dark Sisters

Libretto by Stephen Karam

Thursday, August 24 at 7:30 Sunday, August 27 at 3:00

Dark Sisters is a story of resilience, survival, and ultimately of hope, as seen through the eyes of one extraordinary woman. Living within the confines of a polygamist, patriarchal cult, the opera follows the journey of Eliza, a sister-wife who questions what she has been taught and emerges as a singular voice, one who is no longer content to be one of many.This haunting work by one of America's most popular and prolific composers, Nico Muhly, charts one woman’s quest for self-discovery in a world where personal identity is forbidden.
