Le miracle de cette Popp\u00e9e ramen\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019essentiel ? La gr\u00e2ce musicale port\u00e9e par Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n, qui tire avec ferveur la cruaut\u00e9 vers l\u2019ambigu\u00eft\u00e9. […] Dans ce contexte lib\u00e9r\u00e9 des contraintes sc\u00e9niques, les lignes m\u00e9lodiques et la puret\u00e9 harmonique \u00e9voluent librement. Tout coule, tout irradie. Gr\u00e2ce aux chanteurs, tous magnifiques.<\/p>\n

Le grand m\u00e9rite de Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n et de son ensemble est, avant tout, de donner \u00e0 cette \u0153uvre un acc\u00e8s imm\u00e9diat et d’en souligner plus que jamais l’incroyable modernit\u00e9. [\u2026] Ce baroque m\u00e9diterran\u00e9en engage et convainc, mais surtout il montre toute la force et d’une certaine mani\u00e8re la libert\u00e9 de cette musique.<\/p>\n

The Courtesan who wanted to be Empress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Courtesan Poppea will stop at nothing to ascend the throne. The courtesan Poppea is mistress to Roman emperor Nero. She breaks up with her lover Otto, commissions the suicide of the philosopher Seneca and has the empress Octavia repudiated. Finally, she achieves her goal by marrying Nero. While this could have been an opera about the triumph of amorality, Monteverdi transforms it into a hymn to the power of desire and human nature in all its contradictions. While this was Monteverdi\u2019s final opera, it also revolutionised the genre. Here it is as lively as the first day, in a concert version led by Leonardo Garc\u00eda-Alarc\u00f3n and Cappella Mediterranea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
