Claudio Monteverdi "Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria" (freely adapted by Hans Werner Henze) Salzburg Festival, 1985 (or 1987) Ulisse - Thomas Allen conductor - Jeffrey Tate My first Monteverdi opera... I know, I know, not very historically-informed, but enough to make me fall in love with this work. And I'm still moved by Kuhlmann's Penelope and Allen's Ulisse...
