On February 29 at 20:55 GUM Cinema will host the live broadcast of Handel’s Agrippina from the Metropolitan Opera.
Handel’s early opera is heaven for fans of court intrigues and quarrels between lovers. Here you will find deliberate deceit, betrayal, forgiveness, a coronation, a wedding, motherly love, and politicking. David McVicar with his customary irony takes care of the presentation of the pseudo-historical plot by changing the time of the dark Baroque comedy to our days.

Director: David McVicar
Actors and performers:
Agrippina – Joyce DiDonato
Poppea – Brenda Rae
Ottone – Iestyn Davies
Claudius – Matthew Rose

Estimated Run Time: 235 minutes (3 hours 55 minutes)
