What is it that drives Sextus to make an attempt on the life of his dearest friend, the emperor Titus? And what brings Titus to forgive him? After revealing all the beauties of Idomeneo in 2022, Raphaël Pichon for the first time takes on Mozart’s final masterpiece in the seria genre and imbues it with his unparalleled sense of musical theatre. To bring out the best in some of the most beautiful arias Mozart ever wrote, an exceptional cast has been assembled, made up of artists who have shone especially over the most recent years of the Festival – including Pene Pati and Karine Deshayes, who make prized appearances as Titus and Vitellia. The energetic forces of the Ensemble Pygmalion work wonders, notably in the famous virtuoso solos, while the chorus provides all the atmosphere one could ask for in the great conflagration of the Capitol.
