The Coronation of Poppea

Approved

Monteverdi’s final and most profound opera, L’incoronazione di Poppea, was first performed in Venice in 1643, only months before his death. Its exploration of the abuse of power, the drive of lust, and the triumph of love is as relevant and intriguing today as it was over three and a half centuries ago, and shows Monteverdi at the height of his powers. The smoldering center of this masterpiece is the Roman Emperor Nero’s obsessive love for the beautiful Poppea, which is brought to life by Australian countertenor David Hansen as Nerone and American soprano Amanda Forsythe as Poppea. BEMF’s GRAMMY Award-Winning Musical Directors lead a revival of the critically acclaimed 2009 production of this extraordinary work.
