La Clémence de Titus
Opera
31 January 2026
Titus, Emperor of Rome, is the target of a plot hatched by the ambitious Vitellia, who wants to marry him. Intrigues, manipulation, betrayed loves and friendships, The Clemency of Titus is a hymn to forgiveness and reconciliation.
With this masterful masterpiece, Mozart concluded his all-too-brief career.
La Clemenza di Tito is, along with The Magic Flute, one of Mozart's last operas. With his unparalleled genius, he offers a fresco as brilliant as it is profoundly human. To stage it, Jean-Philippe Clarac and Olivier Deloeuil reinvent Vitellia as a modern-day First Lady, all glossy smiles and formal elegance. Behind the ceremonial figurehead emerges an ambitious and manipulative fighter, but also a wounded lover and a complex, terribly endearing woman. A way of reminding us, with the power of Mozart's music, that behind every powerful man hides a woman.
Performance in Italian, with French and English surtitles.
