    • Christopher Hogwood conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and a distinguished cast including Danielle de Niese and Charles Workman in Wayne McGregor's production of Acis and Galatea – a rare and beautifully crafted collaboration between The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet. It was originally staged as part of a double-bill with McGregor's production of Dido and Aeneas and that too is available on DVD. 

      Acis and Galatea is also available on Blu-ray

    • "Charles Workman and Danielle de Niese had bags of vocal and personal charm in the title roles, with strong contributions from Matthew Rose as Polyphemus and Paul Agnew and Ji-Min Park as attendant shepherds..." The Daily Telegraph

      "as Galatea, Danielle de Niese, with her Heidi plaits, is a marvellously relaxed performer. She basks in her own voluptuous voice and has every reason to enjoy it. Charles Workman's Acis is superlative too, a shepherd in a shaggy jumper. I fell in love with him. Who wouldn't? He has a celestial voice and he can act." The Observer

      "Wayne McGregor’s main idea for this production is to have each singer shadowed by a dancer – as listed above – and for the dancer to mirror, shadow or suggest the emotions they are expressing. It works remarkably well." MusicWeb International
