La Calisto is an opera by Francesco Cavalli with a libretto by Giovanni Faustini, first performed on 28 November 1651 at the Teatro San Apollinare, Venice. The story is based on the myth of Callisto from Ovid's Metamorphoses. A comparative failure in its own day, the opera has been successfully revived in modern times.
