To open their 18th season, the Union Avenue Opera has chosen an English text version (John Gay) of Handel's take on the mythological, with ACIS AND GALATEA (seen April 29, 2012). This is definitely a tale of two acts, with the first being devoted to their love for one another, this semi-divine sea nymph, and her faithful shepherd. But, things take a nasty turn in the second act, even though Galatea is able to resurrect the slain Acis as a river. If that seems a bit fanciful, it is, but that's the charm of Handel's work. It bears the catchy repetition he's famous for, and it's well played by a small cast filled with superior voices. This is deceptively demanding in the amount of coloratura that shapes so many of his phrases.
