LA CLEMENZA DI TITO

After Le nozze di Figaro two years ago, another masterpiece by Mozart will be on the program of the Hamburg University of Music and Drama in 2024. With La Clemenza di Tito, the singing stars of tomorrow will graduate from the Master Opera course. As a long-standing cooperation partner of the HfMT, the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra will accompany the nine performances in the HfMT Forum.
Arila Siegert will be a guest in Hamburg as a prominent director. She has a background in dance and choreography, studied with Palucca and was influenced by her collaboration with Ruth Berghaus, Walter Felsenstein and Peter Konwitschny. She pursues a specific visual approach: musical themes from the score appear visually on stage and comment on the action, while the stage space is colored by visual interventions. To this end, the director collaborates with the visual artist Helge Leiberg, who creates complex aesthetic systems during the performances through live painting.
Mozart's last opera, an absolutist coronation opera on the surface, inimitably and timelessly explores both the most noble and the most abysmal aspects of human existence in its music. After all, what do you do when your best friend, your closest and only confidant, plans to murder you from behind? Few rulers, few people would come to the same decision as the Roman Emperor Tito in Mozart's work: to show forgiveness, generosity and leniency - in other words: Clemenza.
