Description |
Barrie Kosky's contemporary remix of Monteverdi's operatic masterpiece, The Coronation of Poppea, blends Baroque music with tango, klezmer and jazz, fluidly merging 400 years of musical history. The songs of Cole Porter are woven through the opera to create a show that defies description: Opera meets Musical meets Erotic Revue! |
