The Return of Ulysses’ after 10 years of swashbuckling, the wanderer is prompted to return home. In Ithaca, his wife Penelope is loyally fighting off the attentions of three daft and deadly suitors – who would like her to capitulate. Will she be pleased to see him? In this beautiful and fast paced opera Monteverdi combines a deeply tender exploration of family relationships with a sidelong look at the real world of carnival Venice – an extraordinary combination of dark and light.
