Since the 17th century [[Nero]] has been a frequent character in Italian operas and oratorios. The emphasis In operas, starting with Monteverdi's Incoronazione di Poppea, is on Nero as Emperor, his rise and fall and relationship with his mother [[Agrippina]] and his wife [[Poppaea]]. The oratorios instead focus on the persecution of the early Christians by Nero. Only in Boito's opera ''Nerone'' the two aspects are combined.
