La Calisto | Francesco Cavalli | Festival d’Aix-en-Provence

Anna Bonitatibus made the jealous goddess the star of the Aix production, sweeping all before her in her pursuit of vengeance against her husband and his latest flame. An ex-Diana herself (in David Alden’s pop-art Munich staging), Bonitatibus brought all her experience of early Italian Baroque opera to a dramatically spell-binding performance as Jove’s scorned wife.
