  • La Clemenza Di Tito
    La clemenza di Tito La clemenza di Tito (English: The Clemency of Titus), K. 621, is an opera seria in La clemenza di T ito two acts composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to an Italian libretto by Caterino Mazzolà, after Pietro Metastasio. It was started after the bulk of Die Zauberflöte Opera by W. A. Mozart (The Magic Flute), the last opera that Mozart worked on, was already written. The work premiered on 6 September 1791 at theEstates Theatre in Prague. Contents Background Performance history Roles Instrumentation Synopsis Act 1 The composer, drawing by Doris Act 2 Stock, 1789 Recordings Translation The Clemency of Titus See also References Librettist Caterino Mazzolà External links Language Italian Based on libretto by Pietro Metastasio Background Premiere 6 September 1791 In 1791, the last year of his life, Mozart was already well advanced in writing Die Estates Theatre, Zauberflöte by July when he was asked to compose an opera seria. The commission Prague came from the impresario Domenico Guardasoni, who lived in Prague and who had been charged by the Estates of Bohemia with providing a new work to celebrate the coronation of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor, as King of Bohemia. The coronation had been planned by the Estates in order to ratify a political agreement between Leopold and the nobility of Bohemia (it had rescinded efforts of Leopold's brother Joseph II to initiate a program to free the serfs of Bohemia and increase the tax burden of aristocratic landholders). Leopold desired to pacify the Bohemian nobility in order to forestall revolt and strengthen his empire in the face of political challenges engendered by the French Revolution.

  • Mozart's La Clemenza Di Tito
    6 Stage Directions and Set Design in Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito Sergio Durante In this essay I will examine the mise-en-scène of the 1791 Prague pro- duction of La clemenza di Tito. Beginning with an examination of the sets and their importance for understanding Mozart’s score and his use of the stage, I will then apply the results to a broader discussion of aesthetic dimensions within the opera.1 The Stage Sets and their Importance in Prague 1791 It has long been known that the main set designer for the Prague production of La clemenza di Tito was the Milanese Pietro Travaglia, a pupil of the famous Galliari brothers, Bernardino and Fabrizio (see Chapter 1, II Document 7). The most important source documenting Travaglia’s work is the so-called ‘Travaglia sketchbook’, preserved today in the National Széchényi Library in Budapest. The book, which had been in private possession before it arrived at the Budapest How to cite this book chapter: library in the 1950s, includes a number of scenographic sketches at Durante, S. 2018.

And even though some form of op- era performance had already existed in Hungary in the courts of the aristocrats and primates – for an PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMPLEX” example, one need look no further than Haydn, who worked at Eszterháza (today’s Fertőd) – the first institution at the national level was the one which opened as the Hungarian Theatre of Pest in 1837 and was renamed the National Theatre in 1840. The opera company led by Ferenc Erkel and the dance en- semble led by Frigyes Campilli were given their own building and independence only at a relatively late stage, in 1884. But then they moved into the new building designed and built by Miklós Ybl on the “radial” avenue, and in doing so became the greatest of all of Hungary’s cultural institutions. We can really put our faith in Géza Csáth, since, as an early “So what do they do?
