LES ARTS FLORISSANTS

New production and staging
Fondazione Teatro Ponchielli of Cremona – Monteverdi Festival

​

 

The last surviving title of Monteverdi’s operatic output is a story of striking modernity, in which Virtue and Love are tainted by human ambition, passion, and power.

At the 43rd Monteverdi Festival, L’Incoronazione di Poppea returns in the interpretation of Les Arts Florissants, the historic ensemble founded by William Christie and conducted on this occasion by co-principal director Paul Agnew.

Featuring an extraordinary cast of rising stars and leading specialists in the repertoire.
