The genius of Francesco Cavalli has languished for centuries, and only now is his music being slowly drawn to our attention. Today, the joyfulness of La Calisto, is considered a fundamental title in Baroque opera. For its debut at the Teatro Real, Ivor Bolton and Christopher Moulds will alternate conducting the Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla and two first rate casts including Karina Gauvin, Monica Bacelli, Louise Adler ( 2017 recipient of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World and the Young Singers Award at the International Opera Awards) Tim Mead and Xavier Sabata, among other specialists in Baroque repertory. David Alden draws on the marvellous eloquence and dramatic power of Cavalli’s music to create a stage where the gods, who in times gone past had been inapproachable, come across as characters who are just as irrelevant as the humans who govern them.
