Claudio Monteverdi's baroque opera "Die Krönung der Poppea" (L'incoronazione di Poppea), performed by Theater, Oper und Orchester Halle. One of the most significant works of early European opera, telling the story of Emperor Nero's love for Poppea.

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.
