Start Time
February 29 at 12:55pm
Event Location
Athena Cinema
Presented by OU Performing Arts Series, College of Fine Arts, Arts for OHIO, and George Weckman
Handel鈥檚 tale of intrigue and impropriety in ancient Rome arrives in cinemas on February 29, with star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as the controlling, power-hungry Agrippina and Harry Bicket conducting. Sir David McVicar鈥檚 production ingeniously reframes the action of this black comedy about the abuse of power to 鈥渢he present,鈥 where it should loudly resonate. The all-star cast features mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey as Agrippina鈥檚 son and future emperor Nerone, soprano Brenda Rae as the seductive Poppea, countertenor Iestyn Davies as the ambitious officer Ottone, and bass Matthew Rose as the weary emperor Claudius. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met鈥檚 award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to more than 2,200 theaters in more than 70 countries worldwide.
