Reviews of Acis and Galatea
**** Richard Morrison for The Times
“To hear this pastoral masterpiece performed so stylishly and ebulliently by David Bates’s La Nuova Musica — embellishments popping out of every bar played by these virtuoso instrumentalists — is a delight.”
**** Robert Hugill for Planet Hugill
“Staples and David Bates had a strongly dramatic view of the work, and much of the evening was vividly performed, highly engaging and engaged, on a very high musico-dramatic level.”
**** Inge Kjemtrup for The Stage
“The monster triumphs in La Nuova Musica’s dark staging of Handel’s operatic work.”
Mark Pullinger
“Musically terrific Acis and Galatea.”
Thank you to all those who attended our performance of Acis and Galatea at Stone Nest as part of London Handel Festival 2022. It was an immense privilege and so much fun to perform this stunning work in the beautiful and intimate space of Stone Nest.
