La Calisto arrives at La Scala for the first time and triumphs
Cavalli's debut at La Scala is a triumph, earning applause that not even a Bohème or a Traviata can sometimes elicit.
Cavalli's La Calisto returns to Munich
A flamboyant production and a wonderful cast of singers seals a big success for this gem of the early Baroque.
