One of Mozart’s lesser known operas, La Clemenza di Tito is based on a leftover libretto by Pietro Metastasio.

The opera is set in the year 79 and depicts Vitellia, an ancient Roman aristocrat, as she plots to assassinate Tito, the Emperor of Rome. Directed by Marshall Pynkoski, featuring the Artists of Atelier Ballet and Tafelmusik Orchestra conducted by David Fallis, this production promises to be a crowning event in Opera Atelier’s 25th-anniversary season.

Tonight’s performance of La Clemenza di Tito is at 7:30pm at the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatre Centre. Tickets range from $38 to $166. For more information, go to the Opera Atelier website.
