The Coronation of Poppaea from Lille

[Chris Newman]

Searchimg through Arte Live's backlog of goodies I discovered this Coronation of Poppaea conducted by Emmanuele Haim. From Lille it is well directed, with lots of gusto and humour which makes the underlying story so leave bad/sad tastes on the palate.
