Royal Academy Opera continues ‘on the road’ during the construction of the Academy’s new theatre.

Love triumphs over Virtue in Monteverdi’s compelling masterpiece of obsession, excess and scandal. The infamous Emperor Nero sweeps aside all opposition to his marriage to the ambitious Poppea Sabina, culminating in one of the most erotically charged duets in all opera. The timeless combination of shocking moral ambivalence and seductively beautiful music has kept L’incoronazione di Poppea, written for the Venice Carnival in 1643, at the centre of the modern operatic canon.

The production will be sung in Italian with English surtitles, and accompanied by period instruments from the Academy’s Historical Performance department. It will be directed by Resident Producer John Ramster and conducted by Jane Glover in her final production as the Academy’s Director of Opera.
