L'Egisto
Composed by Francesco Cavalli
Libretto by Giovanni Faustini
Kenneth Shaw, director
Brett Scott, music director and conductor
A fine example of Venetian Baroque opera, this fable of two couples having their fidelity tested by capricious gods provokes many misunderstandings and adventures in the name of love. Kidnappings, threats, magic and madness all find their way into this ultimately charming Baroque masterpiece. Brett Scott has created a score that is more historically accurate than some previous versions, retaining Cavalli's intentions for color and orchestral storytelling. Don't miss this rarely performed work!
