Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria Monteverdi

Early Opera Company is delighted to have returned to the Roundhouse with The Royal Opera as the orchestra for this powerful opera. Conducted by Christian Curnyn, directed by John Fulljames, and with an outstanding cast led by Christine Rice and Roderick Williams, Monteverdi’s The Return of Ulysses has 8 performances this month.

The Return of Ulysses (Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria) is one of only three surviving operas by the Renaissance composer Claudio Monteverdi. As with The Coronation of Poppea (L’incoronazione di Poppea) it dates from the later period of Monteverdi’s career, and was first performed in Venice in 1640. The opera is a masterpiece: Monteverdi invests majestic music with great pathos and dramatic truth, driving with astonishing directness to the heart of each of his complex characters.
