L'Incoronazione di Poppea
14 December 2024/ France / Rennes
Seduction, jealousy, ambition… How can one resist the sublime and poisonous Poppea’s desire for power? Impossible for the young emperor Nero, whose bloody reign is torn apart by human passions and political underhandedness.
The artists, instrumentalists, and singers who lit up the Rennes Opera in the fall of 2023 in Ted Huffman’s staging and under the direction of Damien Guillon, are invited to present this opera in a concert version for a series of exceptional concerts. It is an exhilarating dive into the heart of a masterpiece bursting with modernity, yet written by Monteverdi nearly 400 years ago.
