A very special concert performance of Mozart’s glorious opera. Mitridate, rè di Ponto may be a less familiar corner of Mozart but anyone who enjoys this great composer’s music will find this opera a deeply rich and immensely rewarding experience.
Written when he was just 14, Mitridate, rè di Ponto is a breathtaking accomplishment. Mozart’s sublime and highly dramatic music draws the imagination of the listener into a world of compelling characters wrestling with emotional dilemmas. As the opera builds to its climax an atmosphere of sustained and gripping tension is created.
Sir Charles Mackerras, WNO’s Conductor Emeritus, former Music Director and world-renowned Mozartian conducts the world-class Chorus and Orchestra of Welsh National Opera and a stunning cast of international soloists.
