★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "…til det absolut positive hører sopranen Giuseppina Bridelli med en grundlæggende varm klang som Deianira, Nahul di Pierro som Hercules med en smuk, nuanceret basstemme… mens tenoren Krystian Adam demonstrerer en gennemkultiveret, lys tenorklang … Sikken et lærestykke for en ung konge!” "(...) der er nærhed og nerve i alt fra klang til fraseringer, en næsten dansant musiceren, der skaber en let og inderlig stemning. Magasinet Klassisk

Francesco Cavalli, a natural successor to Monteverdi, was the most famous and influential Italian opera composer during the mid-17th century. Cardinal Mazarin, chief minister to the king, commissioned Cavalli to create a Parisian spectacle to celebrate the wedding of the ‘Sun King’ Louis XIV and the Infanta of Spain. Ercole amante (‘Hercules in Love’) was the flattering subject chosen for this regal extravaganza combining larger-than-life characters with mythology, and genuine human emotions with natural and cosmic phenomena. The result is a sumptuous Baroque spectacle, conceived on a vast scale in this lavish production by directors Valerie Lesort and Christian Hecq.
