Francesco Cavalli, born in 1602 in the Venetian city of Crema, was a pivotal figure in the early Baroque period, renowned for his prolific and influential work in opera. As a pupil of the legendary Claudio Monteverdi, Cavalli succeeded his mentor as the leading opera composer of the mid-17th century. His career flourished in Venice, where he composed over thirty operas, many of which premiered in the city's pioneering theatres. Cavalli's most celebrated works include 'Ormindo' (1644), 'Giasone' (1649), and 'La Calisto' (1651), which continue to captivate audiences with their rich musical tapestry and dramatic depth. Beyond his operatic achievements, Cavalli's compositions span a broad range of genres, from sacred to secular music, reflecting his versatility and enduring impact on the Baroque era.
