Mezzo-soprano Stéphanie d’Oustrac about Agrippina | Dutch National Opera

Nerone’s mother Agrippina will do everything she can to overthrow the Roman emperor Claudius and put her son in power. This Baroque opera about huge ambitions, political intrigue and the crooked path to power is one of Handel’s strongest early works. 

“Handel’s ‘Agrippina’ is a dark, comic portrayal of the devastating thirst for power” – Trouw ★★★★

“Handel’s opera ‘Agrippina’ tells the story of one of the most fascinating figures in Roman history.” – De Volkskrant ★★★★
