For the first time since 2002, The Royal Opera perform La clemenza di Tito (The Mercy of Titus) – Mozart’s operatic portrayal of a society threatened by change, control and intrigue. This new production by Richard Jones, pared-down for our times, highlights how the opera’s themes of political scheming but also mercy are just as resonant in modern society as they were in the original Ancient Roman setting. Mark Wigglesworth conducts one of Mozart’s most striking scores, which includes stunning arias to be performed by a fine young cast including Nicole Chevalier, Emily D'Angelo and former Jette Parker Young Artist Edgaras Montvidas. Language: Sung in Italian with English surtitles
