About
Francesco Cavalli was a star in his own lifetime. As a composer, organist and vocalist, he was one of the masters of the Venetian operatic tradition alongside Monteverdi. His Pompeo is an enthralling mix from beginning to end with its blend of love, betrayal and political intrigue in ancient Rome. Mithridates, Pompey and Caesar clash against a backdrop of thwarted passions and poignant revelations. Max-Emanuel Cenčić brings all his talent to bear as he embodies the tyrant and gives him a voice.
