Faith, knowledge and power collide in this brand new opera by Richard Mills.
Faith, knowledge and power collide in this brand new opera by Richard Mills that examines the fortunes of one of the world’s greatest thinkers.
A complex life which came into conflict with the political and religious powers of the day, Galileo is a searching meditation on questions of faith in a violent, hostile and uncertain world.
With the combined forces of La Compañia and Orchestra Victoria, and starring Victorian Opera favourite, baritone Samuel Dundas as Galileo — this project will celebrate the artistic legacy of Richard Mills.
