La Clemenza di Tito: Canadian Opera Company

Sobre o Evento

Experience Christopher Alden’s gripping production of La Clemenza di Tito at the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto. This lesser known opera features some of Mozart's finest music and a thrilling story of unrequited lust, vengeance and power.

Facing betrayal by his closest confidantes, the Roman emperor Titus (Tito) chooses to forgive them rather than subjecting them to the most brutal of punishments. The benevolent Titus becomes the symbol of enlightened leadership for generations to come.  “This is an evening of modern music theatre you mustn’t miss.” (Chicago Tribune)
