Seduction and intrigue: The romance between Cleopatra and Caesar during his conquest of Egypt is one of the most famous love affairs in the world. George Frideric Händel’s opera based on this story was a sensational success. The composer’s contemporaries declared it «beauty of all kinds in abundance». Even today, the magic of this music remains unbroken. In this Opéra de Monte-Carlo production, director Davide Livermore transfers the action to a luxurious cruise ship on the Nile. Cecilia Bartoli sings Cleopatra, one of her most thrilling roles.

So everything would be wonderful - if it weren't for Don Bartolo, Rosina's guardian, who won't let her out of the house or out of his sight. He wants to marry Rosina himself and can rely on the support of music teacher Don Basilio, who provides him with information about his rival. The Count's dedicated helper is the title character: Figaro, Barber of Seville and the Count's former servant. His many pieces of good advice result above all in stunningly funny stage scenes and at least do not prevent the two lovers from finding each other in the end.

A young woman who desires her own father and is transformed into a tree. A young man who loves himself so much that he fails to notice the advances of a nymph who ultimately exists only as a voice. A goddess who transforms her rival into a spider because of her flawless weaving skills. A man whose statue of a woman perfect for him comes to life. A legendary singer whose return his beloved awaits in the underworld.

A coup attempt and his best friend a conspirator – yet Tito would rather relinquish his throne than base his power on fear and terror. "La clemenza di Tito" is a work that poses timeless questions about the use of power, guilt, and forgiveness. Mozart's late opera seria contains some of his most fascinating arias and ensembles. The rising tenor Giovanni Sala sings Tito, while Cecilia Bartoli interprets Sesto, one of her signature roles. The historically informed Orchestra La Scintilla performs under the direction of Gianluca Capuano.
