The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia.
One of the first operas to use historical events and people, it describes how Poppæa, mistress of the Roman emperor Nero, is able to achieve her ambition and be crowned empress. The opera was revived in Naples in 1651, but was then neglected until the rediscovery of the Score in 1888, after which it became the subject of scholarly attention in the Late-19th- and Early-20th-Centuries. Since the 1960s, the opera has been performed and recorded many times.
