The Tower Club Restaurant and the Ithaca College Department of Theatre Arts collaborate to present and evening of fine dining and entertainment.
On Saturday, February 24th 2007, audiences are invited to dine at the Tower Club, located on the 14th floor of the East Tower on the Ithaca College campus, followed by a night of Handel opera with “Acis and Galatea”.
This package is only $35.00 per person, including a buffet style dinner and tickets to the 8:00 pm performance of “Acis and Galatea” (excludes alcoholic beverages). Conveniently located on the Ithaca College campus, this package promises to be an experience above all the rest.
“Acis and Galatea” is an opportunity to see the annual collaboration of the Ithaca College School of Music and the Department of Theatre Arts. The opera focuses its attention on Galatea, a semi-divine nymph, and her love for the shepherd Acis. The two pursue one another, and finally become lovers. The lovers are soon warned by the chorus of the jealous monster Polyphemus, who loves Galatea. Galatea rejects Polyphemus as she and Acis have sworn eternal love. Furious, Polyphemus kills Acis and Galatea becomes distraught and grief stricken, her tears flooding the world. Reminded by her attendants that she is divine, Galatea uses her power to transform Acis into a river, making him immortal.
