Mozart's Bold Opera La Clemenza di Tito
Filled with theatrical urgency and fire, La Clemenza di Tito is a complex opera from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato sings Sesto at New York City’s Metropolitan Opera House for the first time, and tenor Matthew Polenzani adds yet another role to his extensive Mozartean repertoire as Tito. Mozart’s opera of vengeance and forgiveness, set during the Roman Empire, also stars sopranos Elza van den Heever as Vitellia, with Ying Fang, Paula Murrihy, and bass Christian Van Horn completing the principal cast. Can an emperor forgive the woman who wants to marry or murder him, while also pardoning the would-be assassin who is his best friend? Jealousy, passion and forgiveness take center stage in one of Mozart's last operatic works written just before his death. Lothar Koenigs conducts.
