Bruce Ford (Mitridate); Jochen Kowalski (Farnace); Ann Murray (Sifare); Luba Orgonasova (Aspasia); Lillian Watson (Ismene)
Mozart’s fourth opera - written when he was only 14 - displays all the hallmarks of the fresh, inventive writing that was to flourish into extraordinary genius in his later works and, with a cast as good as this, The Royal Opera’s production takes Mitridate, re di Ponto to the highest levels of operatic achievement. Based on a play by Jean Racine, it is a story of jealous love and political intrigue.
