Monteverdi: L’Incoronazione Di Poppea

In his first opera staging, Jan Lauwers shines new light on Monteverdi’s L'Incoronazione Di Poppea at the Salzburg Festival. His "Gesamtkunstwerk" captures the dizzying power games between Poppea and Nerone, superbly performed by Sonya Yoncheva and Kate Lindsey, while striking imagery is created by the SEAD Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance and the BODHI PROJECT. Conductor William Christie proves once again that he is “the most delicate of all experts of early music” (Merkur). "The love duet between Poppea and Nero is one of the most tender in opera history and of infinite magic." (Süddeutsche Zeitung) (Cat. No.: A 040 50103)
