Handel - Acis and Galatea (HWV 49) | Best Perfromance

G. F. Handel - Acis and Galatea (HWV 49)
Baroque Theatre in Valtice - Festival Concentus Moraviae (2017)
Conductor: Jana Semeradova;
Orchestra: Collegium Marianum.
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😢

    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!

    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🙏

    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.
