About The Coronation of Poppea
Enter ancient Rome as the ruler Emperor Nero and his obsession Poppea ruthlessly pursue their love. Power, politics and passion paint the backdrop of Monteverdi’s masterpiece. Desire and betrayal claim centre-stage.
Director Sam Strong (Echo and Narcissus/Cassandra) and Conductor Chad Kelly (Abduction) lean into the sensuality at the core of this coronation. Baritone Samuel Dundas and rising star soprano Meechot Marrero star as Nero and Poppea.
