G. F. Handel - Acis and Galatea (HWV 49)
Baroque Theatre in Valtice - Festival Concentus Moraviae (2017)

A very cute, semi-puppet, even childish, but the best, in my humble opinion, performance of this opera.

Once I've seen Patricia with her wonderful performance the first time I fell in love with her voice. What a characteristic but natural timbre. It's hard to accept that she lost her life that young. It's so so sad😢
Frau Suzy Bannion sei Lob und Dank, dass diese zauberhafte Version der Händel-Oper mit der unvergleichlichen Patricia Janecková hier wieder in voller Länge zu sehen und hören ist! ❤

Suzy Bannion ist NICHT der richtige Name dieser Person, die sich weigert, den schweren Rechtschreibfehler im Video-Titel zu korrigieren. Suzy Bannion ist eine Figur in einem Horrorfilm.
The most charming performance of this opera I have ever seen. The idea with the puppets is original, it evokes a real theater, while preserving the Baroque style. The freshness of young, yet excellent artists, accompanied by a great musical enesemble, makes the performance a truly unique gem. Suzy Bannion, many thanks for posting it!
Just saw this in Sligo, Ireland yesterday. The most creative use of music and marionettes I've ever seen.
Rest in peace, Patricia.
Very different. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was wonderful.👏👏
My God, what an extraordinary performance, with the puppeteers conversing with the performers in moments of extreme sweetness! A special bravo to Patricia Janečková and to Jana Semerádová, invaluable as both conductor and flute performer!

fabuleuse découverte ! quelle féérie ! le sens du mythe encore présent
I can't stop crying watching and listening this Haendel's work. Too much Beauty to me and for all. Thank you very much from Argentina.
We are mourning the death of Patricia Janečková, the excellent Slovak soprano who died of cancer at the age of 25 on October 1st, 2023 (the same day Karel Gott died in 2019). We love you!

Indeed 'Dutch Video Productions' has put up a very good 'In memory of Patricia Janečková' video. From winning Talentmania (CZ/SK eqivalent of BGT) in 2010 to her funeral in Ostrava yesterday (Saturday) pm. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5d2rNF7m9nNZ5M.htmlsi=fyDaCHWOO-3kf1eL , but seems to have missed this.
Dear Suzy Bannion !!!!!! many many thanks for sharing, the video wasn´t available on ytube anymore . I guess some lovers of Haendel´s music cherish very much having this back. As someone else here puts it , this amazing version is absolutely a beauty , OUT OF THIS WORLD . MANY MANY MANY THANKSSSSSSS😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Ms. Bannion. What a gift you have brought to alll of us.
Hallelujah! We can see it again! Thank you so much!

Comme vous, j'avais constaté avec rage que cette vidéo avait disparu de KZread. Je ne peux exprimer mieux que vous ma joie de la revoir, car c'est pour moi la meilleure version d'Acis et Galatée que j'ai jamais vue et entendue. Quel bonheur d'encore partager le bonheur de Jana Semeradova !

I am so honored to see this amazing performance by Patricia and her colleagues..stunning and bittersweet.🥰🙏🪽
I am SO GRATEFUL this is back on YT!
This is so brilliant! I started watching it as I prepared for our own choir’s performance and keep watching as it is so compelling.
Thanks to the cruel vagaries of fate, all those who love Patricia Janeskova and her beautiful soprano voice now know what it means to feel bereft. What a painful tragedy for one so gifted and full of promise to die at 25. It is also a valuable lesson for us all, to refrain from the expectation that we are going to live into ruinous old age. A wise saying has been uppermost in my mind since 1st October 2023: 'It's always later than you think'. To take that to heart leads to making the most of the day, focussing on the present moment and totally appreciating those we love. 🙏Omnipotentis quoque Dei amore et pace cognoscamus eternam🙏
Hard to believe we are never going to see Patricia Janečková perform again.
Einfach zauberhaft! So viele schöne Ideen! 💐
Just one word - superb! I'm so glad I found this. Congratulations to players, singers and puppeteers.
Highly. Superior. Deeply. Beautifil. Thank you very much from Argentina.
木偶和人共演版本,十分特別,歌手、樂團表現十分到位。
Thank you very much for posting it again. The execution and interpretation are incredible. They are all great professionals. I feel infected by the enjoyment and joy of the teacher Jana Semerádová
Eighteen year old Patricia as a nymph was the most natural casting decision in history. "Patricia, do you think you can portray gentle and lovely?"

Next to Joan Sutherland Patricia Janeckova is the soprano I've heard for this role opera. A special mention to Jana Semeradova, the musical director.

Dreadful Gods! What would you do? The bitter irony... Hush, ye pretty warbling quire! Your thrilling strains Awake my pains, And kindle fierce desire... Consider, fond shepherd, How fleeting's the pleasure, That flatters our hopes In pursuit of the fair!
The libretto can be found online if you look for: Handel Acis and Galatea - Libretto - Stanford University. I hesitate to provide a link, as that might cause my comment to be removed.

The same set is staged in Luxembourg in February 2024...just in case one would be interested in attending ...of course some singers will be different and everyone will recall the passing of Patricia...😰

I wonder who Galatea will be. Of course, nobody can really replace Patricia, but it seems that the opera world is in a contest to see who will carry her legacy into the places she had the dreams of being but never made it and actually know that they are doing so. I say "know that they are doing so" because sopranos generally don't like being compared to one another, even being compared to dead predecessors unless said predecessor is being openly commemorated.

@@StuartSimonWent to Mersch (LU) on Feb. 18th, and the set was really good, and the whole spectacle was just great ! Only 2 of the initial singers were singing in this new performance in Luxemburg. The orchestra was a bit shrunk to fit essentially the size of a chamber orchestra, but overall it was still OK. The acoustics were a bit moist, absorbing, although pleasant...and the marionettes !!! very impressive. Identical to this youtube version...
