The Baroque Society / Apollo & Daphne (DK)
June 4 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
APOLLO & DAPHNE (Apollo e Dafne) with The Baroque Society & guests.
At Klassisk på Kyssetrappen concert series (Ofelia Plads). Come as you are – no ticket needed.
Join us for an afternoon in the magical Thessalian forests, (or rather the Thessalian seashore) performing Handel’s iconic early work Apollo & Daphne. Greek mythology, metamorphoses, and Handel’s refreshing music.
Apollo and Daphne is based on the Greek myth of the sun god Apollo, who is drawn to the nymph Daphne. His feelings are unanswered, leading to her fateful transformation – or metamorphosis, if you will – into a… laurel tree.
