The Coronation of Poppea
The first opera ever to tackle a real life rather than a mythological theme, Claudio Monteverdi’s seductively sensual swansong blows the dust off ancient Roman history to reveal a rogues’ gallery of all-too-human characters, where the ‘good’ are as flawed as the ‘bad’ and ultimately it’s lust and ambition that win the day. The DVD of this production is now available at the Glyndebourne Shop.
