LA CALISTO

From Peabody Chamber Opera

February 13 – 16

The Peabody Chamber Opera returns to the Theatre Project with LA CALISTO, a comic 17th-century adaption of Greek myth. Jupiter falls for the nymph Calisto, who rejects the older man creeping on her, causing Jupiter to disguise himself as Diana, the goddess Calisto adores. Diana happens to carry a torch for shepherd Endymion, and with the addition of some mythological magic, a comic string of risqué meetings involving mistaken identities ensues.

This colorful production is a collaboration between Peabody Opera and Peabody’s Historical Performance department, providing the Baroque instrumentation under the direction of faculty artist Adam Pearl and guest directed by Luther Lewis, a multidisciplinary freelance artist who was the inaugural Ryan Opera Center Stage Director for the 2023-2024 season at the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
