Monteverdi's L’incoronazione di Poppea

Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 7:30pm

Cahn Auditorium

Joachim Schamberger, director; Stephen Alltop, conductor

Poppea, the mistress of Emperor Nerone, is determined to ascend the throne—whatever the costs. In a world where gods influence mortal affairs, virtue doesn’t always triumph, and this story of love, deception, murder, and betrayal is as relevant today as it was in composer Claudio Monteverdi’s time.

Performed in Italian with English supertitles.

Tickets are $18 for the general public and $8 for students with valid ID.
