Movie Reviews of Cavalli - La Didone
Movie Review: Venice Does Cavalli Proud
Summary: 5 Stars
The opera LA DIDONE had its premiere in the same year, on the same stage, as Monteverdi's IL RITORNO DI ULISSE. (The year was 1641, the stage was the Teatro San Cassiano in Venice.) The 73-year-old Monteverdi was releasing his last operatic masterworks, while the 39-year-old Cavalli was just entering his heyday. Eight years later Cavalli's GIASONE would become the most frequently performed opera of the 17th century.
On this DVD the forces of La Fenice do a marvellous job of presenting a Cavalli opera straight, without the horseplay and impertinence found, for example, on the DVD of LA CALISTO. Baroque music is easy to wreck. Thankfully the Venetians clearly admire Cavalli as a major figure in the development of opera, and show how well his works stay afloat when cast well and directed respectfully. Bravo, Veneti!
