‘A panopticon of human emotions’: Barrie Kosky combines episodes from Ovid’s Metamorphoses with the music of Antonio Vivaldi for the Salzburg Festival, reflecting the full spectrum of Ovid’s narrative art and Vivaldi’s musical work. Cecilia Bartoli has assembled a ‘world-class’ cast (Kleine Zeitung), and Gianluca Capuano and Les Musiciens du Prince deliver an ‘extremely precise, colourful and moving performance’.
