LA CLEMENZA DI TITO

NEW PRODUCTION

Sung in Italian with English titles

Running time: approx 2 hours 45 minutes


La clemenza di Tito is a tale of sexual obsession and divided loyalties, set in Ancient Rome. The powerful, alluring Vitellia has designs on the Emperor Tito, and is provoked to fury when he opts to marry someone else. She fans the flames of rebellion, and demands his assassination at the hands of her doting lover Sesto, Tito’s trusted confidant. Torn between loyalty to his friend and emperor and his fascination with the hypnotic Vitellia, Sesto makes a choice that tests Tito’s forgiving nature to breaking point.


La clemenza di Tito is part of Opera North's Winter Season 2013, which also includes Verdi’s Otello and a double bill of Poulenc’s La voix humaine and Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas.
