Saturday, April 14th, 8pm, preconcert talk at 7pm by John Harbison
Don’t miss your chance to hear Mozart’s last opera, *La Clemenza di Tito*,

brings a story of desperate intrigues, unrequited love, and heart-stopping
reversals of fortune taken directly from Roman history. Roman aristocrat
Vitellia plots the assassination of Tito, Emperor of Rome. Tito’s
forgiveness of his enemies catches all off guard, turning the opera’s theme
into one of clemency and redemption. A limited number of $10 student
tickets are now available at the Dudley House office. Contact Ivanna Yi (
