A ruler who reconciles his divided people, restores peace to the state, and even forgives the assassin who sought his life: this is the story of Mozart's last opera, La clemenza di Tito, which was premiered in September 1791, three months before his death. Clearly, Cecilia Bartoli has not chosen the story about the “mild” Emperor Titus randomly. In times of social division and unrest, it makes the best argument for humane coexistence. Above all, Mozart enchants us with his divine music. Just listen to Sesto’s great aria, Parto, ma tu ben mio, in which the solo voice engages in a tender dialogue of love with the basset clarinet and casts an irresistible spell. Bartoli herself will perform the part of the “traitor” Sesto, which Mozart wrote for a castrato soprano: a signature role for this extraordinary artist. Together with a first-class ensemble, her Musiciens du Prince-Monaco, and the conductor Gianluca Capuano, she will bring Mozart’s late opera seria so vividly to life that the notion of a mere “concert performance” is out of the question.
