L’i
ncoronazione di Poppea,
Claudio
Monteverdi’s final
opera, had a formative
impact on the evolution
of this genre. Yet its
convoluted source
situation makes it one of
music history’s
great enigmas. There are
practically no references
to the original version
that Monteverdi performed
in Venice in 1643, as the
score has not
survived.
To
celebrate the 450th
anniversary of
Monteverdi’s
birth, this operatic
masterpiece is appearing
in an edition close to
the presumed original.
The new edition is based
on the score prepared in
Venice and found among
the possessions of
Francesco Cavalli.
This scholarly
edition came about due to
a remarkable project at
the University of North
Texas; it was compiled
and edited by Hendrik
Schulze and his students
on the basis of the
latest research findings
concerning source
evaluation, performance
practice and the
historical context.
