In 1735, Nicola Porpora confronted his rival George Frideric Handel in London with his opera "Polifemo" - a work that still resonates today as a vivid ode to triumphant love. On the enchanting shores of Sicily, the nymph Galatea falls in love with the mortal Acis. This pure passion ignites the fierce jealousy of the Cyclops Polifemo, whose wrath threatens to destroy everything. But the unexpected arrival of Odysseus and the intrigues of Calypso weave a complex web in which gods and mortals clash. Carried by a constellation of extraordinary soloists and conducted by Stefan Plewniak, this opera masterfully combines the legacy of the Baroque Golden Age with the timeless power of myth. Two world stars lead the cast of singers in this recording: Julia Lezhneva and Franco Fagioli.
