LUCIO SILLA
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Giovanni de Gamerra
Sung in Italian with projected English translations
Mozart’s early masterpiece pits a devoted husband and wife against the passion and political cunning of a Roman dictator. Can love and determination defeat the might of Rome? Based on a historical Roman dictator, this opera depicts the pride, machinations, and eventual transformation of a flawed leader. Written when Mozart was sixteen, Lucio Silla displays all the emotional depth and musical mastery its composer is known for.
