“Because the story of Agrippina is such a universal one, I didn’t want to leave it in ancient Rome. The topics it deals with are never going to leave us, so I wanted the world to be one that the audience would recognize.” In directing the 2020 Met premiere of Agrippina, David McVicar moved the action of Handel’s Baroque satire to a present-day setting that helped amplify the work’s relevance. Enjoy this biting black comedy as tonight’s free Nightly Met Opera Stream—available starting at 7:30PM E
