Gluck was supposed to go to Naples for the name celebration of King Charles III. in 1752 write an opera "of a completely different and never-before-heard style". The composer took this invitation to heart and composed a very modern opera, so that the respected composer Francesco Durante was consulted about a controversial passage, who is said to have said: “I do not decide whether this note is a rule or not but what I can say is that if I had written it, I would consider myself a great man. "
Incited by Vitellia, Sesto sets the Capitol on fire to kill Emperor Tito in the tumult. The attack fails. Since Sesto does not want to name his lover as the instigator, he is supposed to die in the amphitheater. But Vitellia confesses her guilt. Tito is lenient and pardons both of them. Pietro Metastasio's well-known and popular text has been an ideal template for paying homage to a monarch since 1734. Gluck succeeded in
breathing new life into the somewhat rigid, typifying figures of the original. Most of the arias from Gluck's La clemenza di Tito are characterized by an intimate sensitivity that Alceste already anticipated on his reormoper .
