G.F. Handel: Agrippina

Agrippina, Handel’s first operatic masterpiece, casts a satirical eye on Ancient Rome. It is packed with political and sexual machination as Agrippina schemes to place her son, Nerone (Nero), on the throne and the seductive Poppea juggles with three lovers.

This new production from the Theater an der Wien is by the ever-stylish Robert Carsen, one of the world’s leading directors of opera and the cast is led by Patricia Bardon as Agrippina, Jake Arditti as Nerone and Danielle de Niese as Poppea. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts his Balthasar Neumann Ensemble.

A co-production between Theater an der Wien, François Roussillon et Associés, Mezzo and Sonostream.tv with the participation of France Télévisions.
