Opera in a prologue and three acts by Monteverdi, to a libretto by GIOVANNI FRANCESCO BUSENELLO (sung in Italian)
A concert performance by EARLY OPERA PROJECT of the Naples version of the score, live from the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Tired of his first wife, Octavia, Nero wants to divorce her and marry Poppea. Their passionate love affair and its outcome, the political scheming of Poppea, the opposition of Seneca, Ottone and Octavia, the intervention of the gods at a crucial moment in the action and various sub-plots - all these elements form part of one of the most ambitious and yet successful of operatic stories.
