Sinfonia
Virtue, Go Hide Yourself Away
Again I'm Drawn Here
My Lord, Do Not Go Yet!
At Last My Hopes Have Ended
Oh, Dishonoured Ottavia!
There Stands That Most Ill-Fated Lady
The Purple Robes Of Emperors
Did I Please You, My Lord?
Though Fate Allows All Others To Drink The Wine
I Can Feel I Don't Know What
Solitude, Beloved And Treasured
Since Old Seneca's Dead Now
You, Who Received Your Rank And Your Honour
Since Old Seneca's Dead Now
Here I Am, Here Have I Come
Oh Happy, Happy Is Drusilla!
My Lord, Now You Have Good Reason
Think Of Her, Think Of My Poppea
Ah, Ah, My Count
To You, To You Poppea, Our Empress
My Beloved
