Tales of Apollo and Hercules

A double bill of Apollo e Dafne HWV 122 & The Choice of Hercules HWV 69

Tales of Apollo and Hercules explored the lives of two tragic and divine half-brothers and recount their quest for love, their battles with choice and anguish, and their acceptance of fate. Acclaimed director Thomas Guthrie joined rising-star choreographer Valentino Zucchetti to create a spellbinding evening of mythical and fantastical storytelling through drama and dance. LHF favourites La Nuova Musica, and their conductor David Bates, joined a cast of acclaimed soloists for this original Handel production.
