The Story

Nymphs, shepherds and a jealous giant make up the cast of this delightful pastoral opera - Handel's first dramatic work written in English and his most popular by far. The production will uniquely reference the early settler history of the homestead and features some of New Zealand's brightest rising opera stars.
