Amherst Early Music Festival Opera - The Judgment of Paris by Daniel Purcell

The god Mercury descends from the sky with the golden apple of Discord and asks the shepherd Paris to award it to whichever of the three goddesses – Juno, Athena and Venus – he finds most worthy. Juno offers him worldly power, Athena victory in war, and Venus the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris gives the golden apple to Venus.

AEMF’s fully staged production is edited with a Prologue and Epilogue created by Grant Herreid and Lawrence Rosenwald, with AEMF student singers, dancers, and orchestra. Julianne Baird and Grant Herreid, co-directors; Dorothy Olsson and Kaspar D. Mainz dance directors.
