Description

La Clemenza di Tito
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Caterino Mazzolà

Directed by Laura Johnson
Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Written to celebrate the coronation of Emperor Leopold II as King of Bohemia in 1791, La Clemenza di Tito tells of the attempted assassination of the Emperor Tito and his forgiveness of those who betrayed him. The opera was meant to reflect on the titular emperor’s mercy, a quality that the populace might have hoped for in their new king. Sung in Italian with English supertitles, Mozart’s striking portrait of a great ruler who finds power in mercy, rather than revenge, is a model for modern times.
