Kate Molleson focuses on Monteverdi at a turning point in his career, as he secures a leading role at the Mantuan court and begins writing for the stage. Alongside this creative breakthrough comes a more difficult period in his personal life, with financial strain, overwork and illness. Set within the demands of court life, Monteverdi’s artistic ambition and lived experience converge.
