Montiverdi's last opera! Only lovebirds can sing sweeter! Feminists claim women had no power! Nonsense! "One of the first operas to use historical events and people, it describes how Poppaea, mistress of the Roman emperor Nero, is able to achieve her ambition and be crowned empress."

Pur ti miro, pur ti godo
(I gaze at you, I possess you) said mistress Poppaea
