In Claudio Monteverdi's opera musicale, Emperor Nero in 62 AD has just gotten rid of his influential mother Agrippina by murder and is also tired of his wife Octavia. Only eleven days after the divorce he married Poppea, whom he loves passionately. Monteverdi's ambivalent, abysmal opera centers on Poppea's coronation as empress, and concludes with one of the most beautiful and touching duets in opera history.

About production
The "foundation of truth" mattered a great deal to Claudio Monteverdi when he composed for the operatic stage; more than that, it was the only category to which he adhered as a music dramatist. In the 35 years between his first opera, L'Orfeo, and his last, L'incoronazione di Poppea, he often commented, also in writing, on this fundamental problem of opera composition. His comments on opera designs were always aimed at the truthfulness of the characters and at the meaningful use of music as a credible expression of emotions. It seems that the first important opera composer in the history of music found the desired conditions for the creation of truthful opera characters late in his life. In his last opera, Monteverdi came up with a drastic innovation. The plot is based on a historical subject, i.e. dramatic characters could not be more truthful and closer to reality than those figures around the Roman emperor Nero, who had actually existed in history. The opera L'incoronazione di Poppea therefore has the distinction of being the first opera with a realistic plot.
