Egisto – Concert version

Pier Francesco Cavalli – Libretto by Giovanni Faustini
OpEra in a prologue and three acts
Creation at the Teatro San Cassiano, Venice in 1643

A distinguished representative of Venetian opera (the first paid theaters in history), Cavalli dazzled the whole of Europe in the 17th century as a worthy student of Monteverdi. His Egisto is a jewel and one of the greatest triumphs of this new theatrical aesthetics, between poetry, jokes and musical expressiveness in sumptuous, sensual and incandescent colors.

This « dramatic pastoral », of unclassifiable form and uninterrupted musical imagination, has everything to fascinate the public today, that’s why Le Poème Harmonique is performing this great opera in concert version with a new cast.
