Cité de la Musique

Poppea Sabina, one of the most bewitching figures of antiquity, aspires to rise to the rank of empress alongside her lover, the emperor Nero, who must repudiate his wife, Octavia, in order to do so. Power, desire, and ambition intertwine in this masterly work by Claudio Monteverdi, his last opera. Conducted by Leonardo García-Alarcón at the helm of Cappella Mediterranea, the concert version reveals the full dramatic power of this timeless opera. This production will tour Cologne, Geneva, Namur, Montreal, Toronto, and New York between May and July 2025.

The story of the opera begins with an introduction by La Musica, music itself: Claudio Monteverdi opens his version of the ancient love story of Orfeo and Eurydice, the singer whose voice could even melt death, with the prologue. Conductor Leonardo García Alarcón has this epochal work firmly in his repertoire with his Cappella Mediterranea, which specializes in early music, and says: "If life, death, love, and music are the driving forces of humanity, then L'Orfeo is perhaps the opera that best embodies them."
