The title refers to the strange Act 3 of “La Calisto,” a Baroque Italian opera about the Roman myth behind the creation of the Ursa Major and Minor constellations. I could dissect the plot, or explain some of the strange sets and costumes and the like, but mostly I think it’s important to know that the titular character gets transformed into a bear at the beginning of the third act.
And in this production, the bear is huge, fuzzy and astonishingly pink.
