Marshall Pynkoski discusses Opera Atelier’s 2024/25 Season on Classical Mornings

Co-Artistic Director of Opera Atelier, Marshall Pynkoski, joined Jean and Adi on Classical Mornings to give a preview of what audiences can expect from the opera’s 2024/25 season, entitled A Miracle, A Metamorphosis, A Masterpiece Reborn.

The season kicks off in the historic Elgin Theatre with the company’s fully-staged production of Handel’s pastorale Acis and Galatea, October 24th – 27th, 2024.

Based on Ovid’s tale of the water nymph Galatea and her doomed love for the Arcadian shepherd Acis, it is one of Handel’s most popular creations.

The story of Galatea and her love for Acis is full of all of the sensuality and humour we associate with 18th century storytelling at its very best. Sung in English and featuring some of Handel’s most ravishing music for singing and dancing, Acis and Galatea is the perfect introduction to opera and ballet for the entire family.
