L'Incoronazione di Poppea - Zürich Opera house (2021) - L'Incoronazione di Poppea - Opernhaus Zürich (2021)

Description

Revival of production from 2018.

The opera’s self-obsessed characters present themselves on a catwalk of vanities while imposing video screens dominate the arena, completing the glamorous world of unending self-adulation. Julie Fuchs, who turned heads for the production’s premiere run, returns as the confident, sensual Poppea. Neither setbacks nor defeats will stop her from getting what she wants: to be crowned empress. Back at her side as Nero is countertenor David Hansen, who proves equal to Fuchs on stage. He’s helplessly addicted to Poppea’s beauty, and at her word, has no qualms convincing Seneca the philosopher to commit suicide.
