5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite beauty in Ancient Rome, 16 Dec 2007
By Loge (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Dating from 1980, this exquisitely beautiful recording of Mozart's 1791 opera seria, La Clemenza di Tito, was staged and directed by the legendary Jean-Pierre Ponnelle in a number of ancient Roman ruins: the Forum, the Baths of Caracalla and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. Reflecting the studied artificiality of the genre, costumes are based on court dress of the late 18th century and acting is mannered verging on melodramatic, rather than naturalistic (which I take to be a nod to Classical stage conventions and which works perfectly in this production).

The plot involves political power-plays, love, vengeance and a failed assassination attempt against the Emperor (initiated by the daughter of the usurped former Caesar, Vitellia - played with magisterial authority by Carol Neblett). The Vienna Philharmonic and State Opera Chorus are conducted by James Levine.

The cast is exceptionally strong. Tatiana Troyanos presents an emotionally complex Sesto, torn between his love for Vitellia and his profound affection for Tito (Eric Tappy), prepared to face death rather than reveal the source of the plot against the Emperor. The scene involving the Emperor's visit to the imprisoned Sesto - the emotional heart of the opera, just as the beautifully performed and dramatically staged sextet during the fire on the Capitol is its musico-dramatic centre - brings out Sesto's distress and the wavering of Tito between his official imperial role as judge and his personal feeling for his friend. Anne Howells (Annio), Catherine Malfitano (Servilla) and Kurt Rydl (Publio) are each excellent in the lesser roles.

This is "big orchestra" Mozart with no pretence at "authenticity" - those seeking something closer to "period performance" should opt for the great English Baroque Soloists/John Eliot Gardiner DVD. Also, as a film it's dubbed, but not noticibly so. This VPO/Levine/Ponnelle production, does present a profoundly evocative experience, musically and visually beautiful with dramatic punch (within its constraints) where needed, and is essential viewing for fans of coloratura bel canto singing, opera seria and Mozart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 19 Oct 2006
This is by far the best "La Clemenza di Tito" that you will ever see. It is filmed in Rome in the Forum, Arch of Titus and Carcalla Baths. The singers are all suberb especially Eric Tappy (Titus). It is a must buy for all opera lovers.
