Stage Director

The premiere in Venice in 1709 catapulted the 24-year-old Handel to international stardom as a sensitive explorer of the human psyche and emotional spectrum. Part of the success, beyond the music itself, stems from the ironic tone of the narrative, which recounts a story from Roman history: Emperor Claudius, who has chosen the general Otho as his successor. Unbeknownst to Otho, his scheming wife Agrippina is plotting to install her son Nero, from her first marriage, as heir to the throne – Nero being linked to his rivals Claudius and Otho in their shared desire for the beautiful Poppea.
