Venue: Margravial Opera House, Bayreuth

In the intimate splendour of the Margravial Opera House, Bayreuth Baroque revives Cavalli’s Pompeo Magno with a riot of colors, eight masked countertenors and a Tiepolo-like air of playful chaos.

The Argentinian, one of the greatest countertenors of his generation, is today's specialist in the repertoire of Neapolitan composer Leonardo Vinci. 

Manchmal bedurfte es eines Sich-Einfindens, letztlich überzeugten Ensemble und Regie aber in bewährter wie einnehmend gekonnter Weise.
