Director’s Notes: “What does it mean to be a good leader? Is a good leader someone who is beloved but perhaps not just? Is a good leader someone who rules with an iron fist? Can there be a middle ground? These questions are just a few of the themes and larger ideas that Mozart and his librettist Mazzolà (based off of a libretto by Metastasio) were grappling with in La Clemenza di Tito.
In reimagining the opera for LOLA we have taken out the recitative and written in a new character, the Hebrew queen Berenice, who will serve as a narrator and guide as we explore those themes within a modern context.
Come experience some of Mozart’s most dazzling and lyrical musical numbers in Austin’s intimate Scottish Rite Theater with LOLA’s La Clemenza di Tito: A Retelling. ” – Rebecca Herman, Artistic Producer, LOLA.
