At Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu David Aldens visually sumptuous production, with its suggestions of a giant game of chess, puts the operas potent blend of sex and politics in a context that sets ancient against modern just as the action juxtaposes scurrilous comedy and stark drama. Monteverdi's magnificent score, meanwhile, accommodates intrigue, wit, nobility, tragedy and sensuality, and, led by the intense Sarah Connolly and the delectable Miah Persson, the cast brings both drama and music startlingly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_19f1f35f-afe7-485f-87bf-810c8e4ae222_480x480.png?v=1639501892\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"review\"\u003e\"It is difficult to imagine a more credible and convincing Poppea than the Swedish soprano Miah Persson.
