Joélle Harvey Servile
Anna Stéphany (Sextus)
Michèle Losier (Annius)
Clive Bayley Publius
Glyndebourne Festival Opera ensemble
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Robin Ticciati conductor
The collision of love and ambition in Mozart's morally conflicted final opera, and the compassion of a wronged emperor, make for a scenario as relevant today as in the ancient Rome where it is set. Blending ravishing arias with intricate human psychology, La clemenza di Tito ranks among the finest of Mozart's mature works.
