Synopsis
Poetic, comic and at times grotesque - this contemporary remix of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea (The Coronation of Poppea) has the spirit of the masterpiece at its heart. The love god Cupid encourages the romance between the Emperor Nero and his mistress Poppea, despite his existing marriage. Sex, passion and politics ensure the path to this union is bloody and anything but even. All’s well that ends... amorously? Opera, theatre, operetta and revue blend as a compact version of the original text is sung, spoken, whispered and screamed. Cole Porter meets Monteverdi by way of burlesque.
