Argentine soprano Mariana Flores, one of the most compelling voices in baroque music today, takes centre stage in a captivating recital dedicated to the music of Francesco Cavalli at the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival. Across a richly varied programme that spans arias and instrumental numbers from masterpieces such as Le nozze di Teti e di Peleo, Egisto, L’Ormindo, Doriclea, Giasone and more, the concert showcases the expressive depth and elegance of 17th-century Venetian opera as brought to life by Cappella Mediterranea under the inspired direction of conductor Leonardo García-Alarcón. Recorded in September 2025 at the historic Ordenskirche St. George in Bayreuth, this performance highlights a singular union of vocal artistry and period ensemble sensibility, offering listeners an immersive journey into Cavalli’s world of ardour, colour and baroque splendour.
