mezzo-soprano

About

Kosempa deftly switched between lovelorn over Poppaea, manipulative of Drusilla, and sorrowful when Octavia orders Otho to kill Poppaea, a wonderfully imperfect character that is tons of fun to follow

"Otho and Drusilla (Isabelle Kosempa and Lena Kantz in this production), are great tragic heroes – acting the villains by conspiring in an attempt to kill Poppaea, but ultimately failing, being exiled, and seemingly getting to go live happily ever after with each other. Kosempa deftly switched between lovelorn over Poppaea, manipulative of Drusilla, and sorrowful when Octavia orders Otho to kill Poppaea, a wonderfully imperfect character that is tons of fun to follow."
