Vivaldi's Il Giustino is a carnival of colour

‘The opera seria ingredients of rebellion, intrigue, crossed love, jealousy and the supernatural feature in a colourful score with felicitous self-borrowings. Ottavio Dantone’s fine cast of singers includes Delphine Galou in the title role, who declaims with even-toned clarity. Altogether a splendid achievement.’
