Monteverdis seminaI first opera LOrfeo, tells the dramatic story from Ovids Metamorphoses of the descent of Orfeo (Georg NigI) into the underworld to recover his beloved wife Euridice (Roberta lnvernizzi), seen here in a production for La Scala, based on a painting by Titian and directed by Robert Wilson. David Aldens visuaIIy sumptuous production of Lincoronazione di Poppea, with its suggestions of a giant game of chess, puts the operas potent blend of sex and poIitics in a context that sets ancient against modern just as the action juxtaposes scurriIous comedy and stark drama. |
