How to take the place 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 lover, Otho, the philosopher Seneca commits suicide, Empress Octavia is banished, and finally 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 last opera is aIso the first masterpiece of the genre, extraordinarily and enduringIy modern. Here, it is fiImed at the Opéra Royal de VersaiIles, with a young and committed cast, guided through a mafia-baroque worId by director Ted Huffman and the sensationaI Leonardo García Alarcón! |
