Composed in 1640 by Claudio Monteverdi, Il ritorno di Ulisse in patria is an intense and captivating musical drama inspired by the final cantos of Homer’s Odyssey. After twenty years of war and adventure, Ulysses finally returns to Ithaca, only to find that his homeland has changed: Penelope, faithful yet tormented by uncertainty, is forced to fend off numerous suitors eager to usurp the throne. Only through his cunning and the aid of the gods can Ulysses reclaim his place and reveal his identity in one of the opera’s most poignant and theatrical scenes.
