Scene 2

The Coronation of Poppea by Claudio Monteverdi, from Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, 2010. Directed by Stein-Roger Bull and Anja Stabell, conductor Alessandro de Marchi. Starring Brigitte Christensen (Poppea), Jacek Laszczkowski (Nero), Tim Mead (Ottone), Marita Sølberg (Virtú/Drusilla), Patricia Bardon (Ottavia), Amelie Aldenheim (Amore), Ina Kringlebotn (Fortuna), Tone Kruse (Nutrice), Giovanni Battista Parodi (Seneca).Performed in Italian.

"Pur ti miro" is considered one of the most beautiful duets in the history of music. But what does it sound when the couple Nero and Poppea perform it on a stage covered in bloodstains? Norwegian director Ole Anders Tandberg stages his "Poppea" in Oslo as a mind-bending crime thriller with black and white scenery, making the red blood stand out all the more violently. The contrast between the music and the staging is fascinating, offering up profound insights into  the human soul on the themes of love, jealousy and suffering.

With English, Italian, German and French's subtitles
From the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet
A classic drama where the struggle for power and riches are the protagonists.
