Cavalli: Ercole Amante
Commissioned to celebrate the marriage of the Sun King, Louis XIV, and Marie Thérèse of Spain, the original production of Cavalli’s Ercole Amante took two years to complete and, at the time, was the grandest show ever performed in Europe. DNO’s contemporary, hilarious and surreal production, directed by David Alden, is a triumph of opera buffa, a riot of decoration and symbolism complemented by Constance Hoffman’s exceptional costumes. Luca Pisaroni’s Ercole is heroic and melodious in turn, Veronica Cangemi is a splendid Iole, and the Chorus of De Nederlandse Opera and Concerto Köln give a sublime performance under Ivor Bolton, a master of baroque music. An outstanding production, filmed in High Definition and surround sound.
"Another success for the revival of Cavalli's 'Ercole amante', conducted in Amsterdam by Bolton, Francesco Cavalli continues his unstoppable ascent." Il Giornale della musica
