Synopsis:
In his penultimate opera, based on text adapted from Homer`s Odyssey, Monteverdi ventures further than ever before into the depths of human emotion. In this `dramma in musica` human frailty falls victim to time, fortune and love. Gods and humans, comic and intensely serious characters and spectacular scenic effects are brought together in a wonderfully rich and effective texture. Pierre Audi`s highly stylised and timeless production is captured here in a live recording from Het Muziektheater Amsterdam.
