Poppea, the mistress of Emperor Nerone, is determined to ascend the throne—whatever the cost. In a world where gods influence mortal affairs, virtue doesn’t always triumph. This story of love, deception, murder, and betrayal is as relevant today as it was in composer Claudio Monteverdi’s time.

Performed in Italian with English supertitles.
