The Coronation of Poppea

English

Approved

Depicting human emotions in realistic settings, Monteverdi is considered the father of modern opera.

And this is the first opera to derive its plot from a historical subject—the Roman emperor Nero and his mistress Poppea, who had a penchant for power. Think Lucrezia Borgia, Lady Macbeth, Claire Underwood.

Greed, lust, and murder will get you everywhere—until history catches up with you.

The Coronation of Poppea by Monteverdi, From (2021/2021), Directed by Tatiana Lokhina, Candace Evans,, Conductor Kevin Murphy, Musical Arts Center, Bloomington, United States
