La Cetra has appeared in staged opera productions at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, the Theater Basel, La Scala di Milano and at the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music.

La Cetra is praised for its special joy of playing, enthusiasm and energy , which jumps over to the audience. The ensemble has released numerous CDs of highly acclaimed recordings by the press, most recently "A tribute to Bach" with Maurice Steger and the highly acclaimed Christmas CD "Monteverdi – Vespro di Natale" with Andrea Marcon. In October 2024, J. S. Bach's Mass in B minor will be released on CD; in January 2025, the Vivaldi opera "Arsilda" will be published in the legendary Vivaldi edition by Naive.

La Cetra's explicit credo is that scientific background work, intensive examination of historical instruments, performance practice and the historical environment of the works played ultimately serve only one purpose: to make so-called early music tangible for people of today – in lively, gripping, up-to-date interpretations. In the course of its 25 years of existence, La Cetra has received several awards for this. In 2009, La Cetra won the European Prize for Early Music, and in 2015 the world premiere recording of Antonio Caldara's theatrical work La Concordia de' pianeti was  awarded the Dutch Edison Award. In 2017, the Monteverdi album with singer Magdalena Kožená was sensationally nominated for a Grammy.
