LA MONNAIE DE MUNT

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013

LA MONNAIE DE MUNT

La Clemenza Di Tito

Rome 79 AD The emperor Tito nar-rowly escapes the attack his best fri-end Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vi-tellia Tito is faced with the heartren-ding choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency or following his reason and condem-ning him In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo

For a long time this work quite un-justifiably remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces des-pite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre Belgian director Ivo van Hove gives the piece a per-fect staging refined and without ex-aggeration His approach rhymes perfectly with music director Ludovic Morlotlsquos thoughtful and nuanced conducting of La Monnaie Sympho-ny OrchestraThe entire opera is to be seen on wwwlamonnaiebe from Friday 1 to Thursday 21 November 2013
