Christie brings to life the operas of Cavalli, a pupil of Monteverdi and a hugely popular 17th-century composer\n\nIn the mid-17th century, as commercial theaters opened one after another in Venice and opera performances flourished, Cavalli gained immense fame as a popular opera composer. One of his masterpieces, *La Didone*, is considered the oldest surviving musical work based on episodes from Virgil’s famous *Aeneid*. This opera depicts the wanderings of the hero Aeneas following the fall of Troy and his tragic romance with Dido, Queen of Carthage, while replacing the original’s tragic ending with a happy ending that brings salvation to the heartbroken Dido.\nThis performance is a live recording from the Théâtre de Caen in northwestern France, a co-production between the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the Théâtre de Caen, and the Théâtre Municipal de Luxembourg. William Christie \u0026amp; Les Arts Florissants, who have forged a strong partnership with the Théâtre de Caen, bring this little-known operatic masterpiece back to life for the modern audience with a vibrant performance. The production, directed by actor Clément Hervé-Léger in his opera directorial debut, features a simple yet bold staging that movingly illuminates the story of Dido, the queen of tragedy.\nNippon Columbia\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539268034849,"sku":"4945604910804","price":219.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604910804.jpg?v=1789971036","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ro\/products\/4945604910804","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
