Monteverdi - L'incoronazione Di Poppea

Cynthia Haymon (Poppea) Brigitte Balleys (Nerone) Michael Chance (Ottone) Claron McFadden (Valletto) Heidi Grant Murphy (Drusilla) Ning Liang (Ottavia) Les Talens Lyriques; Christophe Rousset Production Company: De Nederlandse Opera Stage Director: Pierre Audi

"Dutch treat - Amsterdam has a model opera company: fresh, controversial and accessible...this Poppea is a quality product of self-evidently world class distinction." (The Sunday Times) "Memorable Monteverdi - Brigitte Balleys's Nerone was so flawlessly sung that one never missed the more usual tenor casting of the role." (Opera) "This latest version is virtually complete and, in musical terms, it has the most consistent cast yet - mezzo-soprano Brigitte Balleys as Nero is credibly masculine...Ning Liang is darkly dignified as Ottavia, countertenor Michael Chance (Ottone) and bass Harry van der Kamp (Seneca) are rock steady in their roles.
