Monteverdi: L'Incoronazione di Poppea
Poppea — a courtesan driven by an unquenchable thirst for power — shapes her destiny with astonishing poise. As Nero’s mistress, she casts off every restraint, brushing aside former loves, driving the philosopher Seneca to suicide, and bringing about the downfall of Empress Octavia. Her coronation beside Nero could be read as a triumph of pure amorality. Yet under Monteverdi’s sublime inspiration, and through Stéphane Fuget’s impassioned direction, this rise becomes something far more profound: an intoxicating hymn to desire itself, exposing the mesmerizing—and terrifying—beauty of unbridled ambition.
