Olivier Lexa / Recensioner

By bringing the staging to the historic Ca' Pesaro instead of to the theatre, it was necessary to resize the space for action. Lexa preferred to focus on the comic vein of the story, ensured by the disguises and erotic references of the text.

Some evenings, by extraordinary, the Ca' Pesaro is transformed into an opera house. This was the case in mid-July. The Baroque Music Center of Venice recreated L'Eritrea by Francesco Cavalli , an opera that thrilled the City of the Doges in the middle of the seicento and has since dragged among the ghosts of the lagoon.
