Finnish Chamber Opera

Acis and Galatea 2008

Handel’s Acis et Galatea was a co-production by the Finnish Chamber Opera and Helsinki Barock Orchestra. It was performed at the Helsinki Universities old Fest Hall. The classisist architecture of that hall created a facinating tension with the production’s Happening type theater activity.
