Salzburg’s new Poppea is met with silence (followed by loud boos)
mainThe first-night audience made clear its disapproval of the Dutch director Jan Lauwers’ dance-oriented production. Total silence is a good measure of audience mood.
Sonya Yoncheva as Poppea and Kate Lindsey as Nerone were applauded, as was the conductor William Christie, whose Arts Florissants ensemble played on stage as part of the performance.
