L’Oristeo
FRANCESCO CAVALLI
With its oriental subject matter, Oristeo, when first written, launched a new form of typically Venetian-style freedom in the creative process. So it will be Marseille, the other port oriented to the East that will host the second world performance of this masterpiece, which has not been performed since the seventeenth century and its first modern re-interpretation
