Alessandro Talevi production for Festival O has sight gags and vaudeville tricks aplenty and features splendid voices in a fine cast. 

Promising young South-African director Alessandro Talevi opened the new season at the Teatro La Fenice with a new mis-en-scene of Mozart's Idomeneo.

La lotta d’Ercole con Acheloo has never been performed in Italy before, so this production sheds light on both Steffani's work and on this Festival's high quality.
