L'incoronazione di Poppea (2012)
Love conquers all – ruthlessly and irresistibly – as Emperor Nero and his mistress Poppea remove the obstacles to their union. At Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu David Alden’s visually sumptuous production, with its suggestions of a giant game of chess, puts the opera’s potent blend of sex and politics in a context that sets ancient against modern– just as the action juxtaposes scurrilous comedy and stark drama. Monteverdi’s magnificent score, meanwhile, accommodates intrigue, wit, nobility, tragedy and sensuality, and, led by the intense Sarah Connolly and the delectable Miah Persson, the cast brings both drama and music startlingly to life.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Thanks for the memories!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
