La Calisto is an opera by Francesco Cavalli from a libretto by Giovanni Faustini based on the mythological story of Callisto. The opera received its first performance on 28 November 1651 at the Teatro Sant 'Apollinare, Venice, where it drew limited audiences for its run of eleven performances.

CAVALLI - La Calisto. Revised and conducted by Jane Glover. Chi non ti crederebbe 2:50. Hayley Westenra – Pokarekare (Sarah Jane Class). Bryn Terfel – Shenandoah (Hazell). The best of the classical brits.

In La Calisto, moments of pure melodic eloquence, especially for the lovesick shepherd Endymion, here delivered with tenderness by Zazzo, pierce the heart. Promotional material in Paris described La Calisto as the "only" Cavalli opera to have any profile today.
