Claudio Monteverdi is considered one of the founders of opera with works like L’Orfeo, Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria, and L’incoronazione di Poppea.

In I Grotteschi, Rafael R. Villalobos reimagines these operas within a successful family business that isolates itself during a pandemic. As Orpheus mourns Eurydice, Penelope cares for her ailing husband Odysseus, while Nerone and Poppea plot to seize power. Driven by loss and desire, the family becomes entangled in a suffocating struggle. Conductor Leonardo García Alarcón and Cappella Mediterranea bring Monteverdi’s legacy to life in this powerful interpretation.
