We’re just one week away from the Opening Night

We’re just one week away from the Opening Night of Toronto Summer Music's 20th Anniversary Festival! Join us on July 10 for a bold reimagining of Monteverdi’s The Coronation of Poppea, featuring an extraordinary cast of vocalists and instrumentalists from Cappella Mediterranea. This must-see production launches our 20th Anniversary Season with drama, beauty, and unforgettable music.
The Courtesan Poppea will stop at nothing to ascend the throne. The courtesan Poppea is the mistress of Roman emperor Nero. She separates from 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’s final opera, it also revolutionized the genre. Here it is as lively as the first day, in a concert version led by Leonardo García-Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea.
