L'incoronazione di Poppea Berlin — Claudio Monteverdi, 1643
Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea is one of the earliest operas we still stage, and one of the bleakest. Emperor Nero crowns his mistress Poppea as empress, destroying everyone in his path — and the opera refuses to moralise about it.
Why this production at the Staatsoper Berlin
Early Baroque performance is a Staatsoper Berlin specialty (see: the Barocktage festival). The small-ensemble accompaniment — harpsichord, theorbos, strings — reveals the score's astonishingly modern emotional range.
What to expect in Berlin
A long evening (3h 30m) at a smaller, more conversational dynamic than most opera. Entirely different from late-Verdi grandeur, and in its own way just as devastating.
