At the world premiere of La Calisto at the Teatro San Apollinare in Venice in the 1651 season, Cavalli personally sat at the harpsichord and new stage machinery was specially built. The pressure on the Monteverdi student was great because Cavalli was also his own entrepreneur: he had rented the small house in Venice for his works. But La Calistowas a failure and disappeared from the repertoire for more than 300 years. It was not until 1970 that Raymond Leppard's opera was rediscovered at the Glyndebourne Festival, and in 2003 René Jacobs conducted it at the Wiener Festwochen in the Theater an der Wien. Christophe Rousset and his ensemble Les Talens Lyriques are now turning to nymph drama. Jupiter, the father of the gods, seduces the nymph Calisto in the figure of Diana, who swore chastity as the companion of the hunted goddess. His wife Juno takes revenge and turns the nymph into a bear. Since the material comes from Ovid's Metamorphoses , Jupiter also promises Calisto to take her into the sky: Transformed into the constellation of the “Big Bear”, Calisto will forever stand in the night sky as a symbol of her love for the fickle father of gods.
