Florentine Opera

Handel's beloved Acis & Galatea weaves a tale of love, jealousy, and mythological mischief. Director Meeker dubs it "visual poetry" as a shepherd's love for a sea nymph is disrupted by a cyclops, and a lover's tragic murder brings fountains of resolution to heartbreak.

Bizet's Carmen, a legendary opera, follows the passionate and free-spirited Carmen, a seductive factory worker living by her own rules. Her love triangle with soldier Don José and bullfi ghter Escamillo unfolds into jealousy, betrayal, and tragedy.
