Description:
[Recorded at the Royal Opera House, Palace of Versailles—Featuring footage of Aralcon’s *Poppea*!] *The Coronation of Poppea*, directed by Ted Huffman and conducted by Leonardo García Aralcon, was performed to critical acclaim at the 2022 Aix-en-Provence Festival. A video recording of that production, filmed at the Royal Opera House at the Palace of Versailles, is now available. Elsa Benoit, who has been making a name for herself in recent years with a wide-ranging repertoire—from early music to the Classical period and even Mahler—stars as Poppea, the seductive woman who tempts Emperor Nerone (Nero) and seizes immense power for herself; Jake Arditti, who is active primarily in Baroque opera but is also highly regarded for his work in contemporary music, as Emperor Nerone (Nero); and in the role of Ottavia—Nerone’s empress, who devises schemes to resist her husband’s tyranny—is Ambroisine Blé, deeply trusted in the early music world for her steady technique and outstanding acting skills. This is a truly stellar cast. For the ensemble—whose surviving scores contain no instrument specifications—the lineup features two violins (Amandine Solano and Stéphanie de Faie) and two cornets (one of whom is the world-renowned Doron Sharwin), two recorders, and a double bass. The continuo features Margaux Blanchard along with two violas da gamba, three plucked-string players including Keith Garth, along with a harpsichord and an organ, creating a powerful ensemble. Under Aralcon’s baton, they bring the story to life with the passionate, characteristic style of the Capella Mediterranea. Director Hoffman is an American director renowned for his avant-garde yet compelling productions, which blend a wide range of operas—from Baroque to contemporary—with modern society. The production masterfully reflects social issues, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, like a mirror, directly challenging the moral values of the audience. *Includes commentary (Japanese, French, English, German) and lyrics (original Italian, with translations into Japanese, French, English, and German). Comes with a full-color booklet of over 200 pages. Japanese subtitles, commentary, and lyric translations by Victoria Tomoko Okada Naxos Japan
