La Clemenza di Tito
OPERA SERIA in two acts
Text by Pietro Metastasio
adapted by Caterino Tommaso Mazzolà
Unaware of the threats surrounding him, the Roman Emperor Tito attempts to live up to his office as well as his own demands.
Tito practices generosity: he forgives his opponents and donates the money intended for the construction of a temple in his honor to the victims of the last eruption of Vesuvius. He even sets Servilia free, whom he wanted to marry for reasons of state, when her lover Annio asks him to. However, he is unprepared for the secret anger of Vitellia, who claims him and the co-regency for herself and incites his friend Sesto to murder and rebellion. The Capitol is already ablaze. When Sesto confesses to being the originator of the uprising, Tito is faced with the decision of whether to sign the Senate's death warrant or show the proverbial leniency. Act 1 approx. 55 minutes
Interval approx. 25 minutes
Act 2 approx. 65 minutes
