“Despite being one of the earliest operas, L’incoronazione di Poppea feels remarkably modern, with vividly drawn characters and deeply human emotions at its core. Monteverdi witnessed the birth of opera as a genre, as it moved from the exclusive circles of the court to public theatres, and he played a pivotal role in shaping opera as an art form. L’incoronazione di Poppea, his final opera, represents the culmination of a long and distinguished composing career—a true gem among early operas.
One of Europe’s most renowned theatre directors Christoph Marthaler stages this production in collaboration with his longtime set designer, Anna Viebrock. Together, they reimagine the story in a contemporary setting, crafting a design that exudes power and chilling detachment. Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Concerto Copenhagen bring Monteverdi’s score to life from the orchestra pit.”
