“Pompeo Magno”, Cavalli’s Last Opera in Venice
In 1666, Cavalli premiered Pompeo Magno in Venice. However, a lack of public enthusiasm meant that it would be the last of his Venetian creations to be performed during his lifetime. In 2025, Max Emanuel Cenčić and Leonardo García-Alarcón revived this little-known work at the Bayreuth Baroque Festival. Watch the complete opera via livestream and learn about its history from Olivier Lexa.
