	Roman Emperors - DIR Agrippina the Younger
		Agrippina the Younger was the daughter of Germanicus Julius Caesar and of Vipsania Agrippina (Agrippina the Elder).
		Agrippina attained the long-coveted position of imperial wife, and Claudius was able to keep the daughter of his still popular brother Germanicus from marrying someone else and so legitimating a potential rival with her family connection.
		Agrippina was thought to have manipulated her husband so that he adopted Nero just as she had arranged his marriage with Octavia, since it moved her son to the head of the line for succession.

		Besides, Agrippina is your mother; and as it is the right of the humblest person in the commonwealth, when accused of crime, to be heard in answer to the accusation, it would be an atrocious crime to deprive the mother of the emperor of that privilege.
		Agrippina was completely deceived by these indications, and her heart was filled with pride [192] and joy at the thought that she had regained the affection and confidence of her son.
		Agrippina and the lady in waiting upon her were saved by the posts of the bed or couch on which Agrippina was reclining, which happened to be in such a position that they held up the impending mass sufficiently to allow the ladies to creep out from beneath it.

	Agrippina - George Frideric Handel
		His wife, Agrippina, who hopes to place her own son, Nerone, on the throne, has one trick up her sleeve: she knows that both Claudio and Ottone are in love with Poppaea, whom she tricks into arousing Claudio’s jealousy.
		Poppaea and Ottone are united, and the succession is settled to the satisfaction of the manipulative and amoral Agrippina, whom Claudio honors by founding a new city: Colonia Agrippinensis, that is, Cologne.
		In any case, Agrippina, all smiles and cruel asides, rightly holds center stage here, and Poppaea is sexy without being vulgar, and only has trouble with ornament and intonation in some of her slower and lower arias.

		First staged in 1709, "Agrippina" was the young German composer's first real success as he ventured into the treacherously competitive arena of Italian opera.
		Intended as a musical satire on the venality of government, "Agrippina" was and is a broadly comic retelling of events occurring in the ancient Roman court of the Emperor Claudius just before the reign of Nero.
		What makes this reincarnation of "Agrippina" approach greatness is the skillful singing and dead-on comic timing of its largely youthful cast.
