About

Revisit the story of Poppea, wife of infamous Roman emperor Nero in an award-winning reimagining by visionary German choreographer Christian Spuck on the stage of the Theaterhaus Stuttgart! The theatre's dynamic Gauthier Dance, founded in 2010 and already a notable name on the international dance scene, offer a vibrant interpretation of the legend, led by the incredible Eric Gauthier, in which the role of music is indispensable. In a chiaroscuro visual atmosphere imbued with cinematic grandeur, the graceful movements of the dancers blend with melodies and harmonies by a marvelously wide-ranging and eclectic selection of musical talents—from Monteverdi and Schubert to Emilíana Torrini and Cat Power—bring life and intensity to this timeless drama.

This is just one of many beautiful ballets available on medici.tv, the web's leading classical music streaming platform!
