An opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with a libretto by Metastasio, La Clemenza di Tito features a rich plot of murder, mayhem, and love during the Roman Empire. Set to Mozart’s ravishing score, La Clemenza di Tito is a must-see event for opera and music lovers alike. The scheming but wounded Vitellia is plotting to overthrow the emperor Tito, who seized the throne from her father—he also happens to be her unrequited love. Deceptions run high as Vitellia manipulates affections and comes up against forces of good and evil. In one of the last operas of his career, Mozart captures the essence of powerful emotions such as love and jealousy, and how they survive in tumultuous societies.
