Agrippina

Les Épopées

Rome, fire and sword

What figure could be more baroque than Agrippina? Ambitious, powerful and jealous, the Roman empress manoeuvres relentlessly to place her son Nero, from a previous marriage, on the throne of her late husband Claudius. Haendel’s magnificent score brilliantly orchestrates this game of love and revenge. Les Épopées and Stéphane Fuget return to Beaune with this new Haendel production, featuring a stellar cast.
