Leonardo García-Alarcón continues his exploration of Francesco Cavalli’s operas with Pompeo Magno, a three-act dramma per musica where tragedy, comedy, and deep emotion intertwine in a dense, multifaceted drama.

Performed by Cappella Mediterranea, this rare opera promises a vivid rediscovery of 17th-century musical theatre.
