Where there is power, there is resistance: in Claudio Monteverdi’s opera, these two forces warp the brains and hearts of empresses, soldiers and court ladies. The philosopher Seneca strives in vain to calm the yearnings and selfishness of all involved. The scandalous rise of Poppea to Roman empress at Nero’s side is at the centre of Claudio Monteverdi’s last opera.
