Titus, Emperor of Rome, has turned down Berenice the foreign princess. He decides to marry Servilia and thereby arouses great anger in the ambitious Vitellia. Sextus would do anything for Vitellia’s love, even foment a coup against his closest friend, the Emperor. Revisiting the great Metastasio’s libretto, so often set to music, Mozart transformed the conventions of opera seria by rethinking its traditional form with a music that is filled with restrained feelings and veiled with melancholy. It was his last opera, a masterpiece that portrays the torment of the human condition as a man of power gains mastery over his impulses. A wave of emotion flows through this Clemenza di Tito that tells the story of passions that are ultimately tamed.
