Five stars for Bryn Terfel double bill at Grange Park Opera
2024
Overview
He’s a dangerously naughty man of the streets born for subversive clowning, with a bright-eyed cartoon face. Poppea is about mainly real events — the Roman emperor Nerone dumps wife one, Ottavia, for wife two, Poppea, sending waves through the court — but Monteverdi and his librettist, Giovanni Francesco Busenello, frame it like a Homeric epic, with deities (Fortune, Love, Virtue) introducing and observing the human events. The admirable Grange Festival cast, conducted by David Bates, makes every role keenly individual. Anna Bonitatibus, whose voice has such presence, makes a special impact as Ottavia (Nero’s ex) and Kitty Whately brings a disarming purity to Poppea, but Jonathan Lemalu’s Seneca is the most authoritative of all.
