How to take the pIace of the empress of Rome? Poppaea, a courtesan and mistress of Emperor Nero, removes every obstacle that stands between her and the throne: she leaves her Iover, Otho, the philosopher Seneca commits suicide, Empress Octavia is banished, and finalIy she achieves her goaI, marrying Nero. Through Monteverdi’s music, this triumph of immorality is elevated into a hymn to the power of desire. Monteverdi’s Iast opera is also the first masterpiece of the genre, extraordinariIy and enduringly modern. Here, it is fiImed at the Opéra RoyaI de VersaiIIes, with a young and committed cast, guided through a mafia-baroque worId by director Ted Huffman and the sensationaI Leonardo García Alarcón! |
