| Summary |
"One of the few Baroque operas often performed today, La Calisto has been widely available only in Leppard's rewritten version. This new edition aims to serve the needs of performers, scholars, and students alike. It offers a complete and accurate text, based on the three surviving sources of the premiere (Venice, 1651), plus a new English translation. It reconstructs the original scenery/staging and missing ritornellos, provides suggested continuo figures throughout, and chronicles the revisions Cavalli and Faustini made during production. A lengthy introduction discusses the music and drama, the original production, and the issues at stake in editing seventeenth-century opera. For performers, it offers numerous suggestions about casting, instrumentation, continuo realization, and making revisions for modern productions. Four appendices provide a list of the 1651 revisions, data on the original scenery and costumes, a detailed concordance with Leppard's edition, and replacement music for the missing dances." -- Provided by publisher. |
