La clemenza di Tito: Bayerische Staatsoper

About the Event

Hear Mozart's last opera performed by the world‐class artists of the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Mozart's opera was written to order on very short notice, but still contains some of the most beautiful classical music written, including Sesto's aria: "Parto, parto".

The emperor Titus is praised for being fair and merciful. However, within his own environment, this apparently impeccable ruler, who changes his wedding plans many times for the common good, generates a tangle of disappointed love, frustrated desires, jealousy and betrayal.

When his close friend and confidant is persuaded by the woman that opposes him to attempt to kill the beloved ruler in an arson attack, everything is questioned: Who is actually honest here and what feelings can still be trusted? At the court of Titus, what is intimate is always illuminated by what is political and public.
