皇帝ティートの慈悲

Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito
Shortly before the end of his tragically abbreviated life, Mozart turned to the antiquated style of opera seria—with its acrobatic feats of singing and plots taken from Classical history or mythology—for his final operatic project. But no genre was ever the same after Mozart got his hands on it, and the great master poured not only his musical genius but also his powerful sense of humanity and idealism into this work, turning an ancient Roman story of desire, betrayal, murder, and public unrest into something timeless and profound.

Harry Bicket conducts a sublime performance of Mozart’s late masterpiece, starring tenor Giuseppe Filianoti, Elīna Garanča, and Barbara Frittoli.

セストというのがちょっと情けない男である。ヴィッテリアは悪女。皇帝ティートは、(皇帝として)どうなのよ、と思っていたのだが存外良い奴だったかな。
