Galileo Galilei (1st Oracle & 1st Cardinal)

Friday, March 30, 2012, 7:30 PM

Portland Opera

Can you imagine what it must have felt like? To believe—to know!—that it was the earth that revolved around the sun and not the other way around! To stand against the prevailing thought of the entire world!  We meet the famous astronomer on his deathbed, blind from looking sunward so often, and are guided backwards through his life. Back as the Church strips him of his freedom, back as he kneels to recant his work, back as he is declared a heretic.  All the way back to his childhood as he enjoys an opera written by his father about—of all things—the magical story of planetary figures.  An intimate and touching telling of a great man and his tumultuous times, by one of the greatest composers of our time.  For more information, click here.
