Classical music concert at Hofkirche in Innsbruck.

About: Claudio Monteverdi

A towering figure of Western music history, Monteverdi shaped both the madrigal and the nascent opera genre across a career spanning more than fifty years. His three surviving operas - L'Orfeo, Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria and L'incoronazione di Poppea - remain cornerstones of the early music repertoire performed across Europe today.
