The Coronation of Poppea Monteverdi 's brilliantly seductive music drama comes to English National Opera in a new production by Steven Pimlott with a new English translation by Christopher Cowell. The Roman emperor Nerone unscrupulously pursues the beautiful
Poppea, spurning his empress Octavia and condemning the statesman Seneca to death. Meanwhile, Octavia intrigues with Ottoneto kill her rival, little knowing that Ottone is also in thrall to Poppea.
Monteverdi imbues his characters with colourful and fallible humanity in this crowning masterpiece of his career.
English National Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Harry Christophers

Danish pianist Niels Lan Doky was something of a prodigy. At the age of 17, trumpeter Thad Jones took him under his wing and encouraged Niels to study at Boston's Berklee College of Music. Niels quickly moved to New York and immersed himself in the jazz scene playing alongside greats such as Joe Henderson, Clark Terry and Charlie Haden. Tonight, in performances from a recent concert at Ronnie Scott's club in London, Niels plays music from his latest recording, Asian Sessions, which explores the relationship of Vietnamese and Chinese music with jazz.
