		La clemenza di Tito was composed for the coronation in Prague of Austrian Emperor Leopold II as King of Bohemia.
		Many of the numbers in Tito are puzzlingly short, for all their beauty, and likely attributable both to Mozart's illness and to the brevity of the time period of composition — approximately 11 days, according to some sources.
		Tito's two greatest roles are Vitellia and Sesto, the vengeful hopeful to the throne and the young patrician who is desperately smitten with her.

	PlaybillArts: Features: For the Greater Good
		As La Clemenza di Tito returns to the Metropolitan Opera repertory next month, George Loomis looks at the late Mozart masterpiece whose underlying themes of politics, love, jealousy, and compassion continue to resonate.
		As with Tito's other arias, its ternary form (similar to the da capo aria) establishes an aptly formal tone, yet Mozart supports the idea that Tito expresses with warm, expansive music that shows strength of purpose while sweeping away any notion that severity is an option.
		By contrast, Tito is the dominant voice at the close of the opera, standing out from the others as he proclaims his devotion to Rome in a stirring ensemble that returns to the noble tone established by the chorus "Che del ciel, che degli Dei."

		Certainly La clemenza di Tito was chosen for the Coronation Day opera because of the prior availability of Metastasio’s libretto - one that could easily be adapted by Mazzola the Court poet who had replaced Da Ponte.
		That Tito was in the rather static opera seria form might have disappointed Mozart whose last work in this genre had been Idomeneo in 1781 since when his operas had moved on in style and vitality as well as humour.
		This point is much more debated now that Tito is more widely available for critical appraisal than it was when Decca issued their ground-breaking Vienna recording forty years ago.

	Prima la musica, poi le parole: La Clemenza di Tito
		I did manage about half of Mayr's Ginevra di Scozia the previous weekend, but that was the first time I'd tuned in since Rodelinda back in May. I didn't really expect anything as exciting as this Clemenza to be offered up, and yet there it was.
		Clemenza has the potential to be rather on the dry side, conventional and stuffy and lacking in the colour and vitality of other Mozart operas.
		I don't necessarily think Clemenza is a boring opera - there are too many hits in it for that - but I also hadn't imagined it could be quite as interesting as this.

		Tito is delighted that someone has dared to tell him the truth and holds Servilia up as an example to the world (Aria: Ah, se fosse intorno al trono).
		Vitellia, believing Servilia to be the new Empress, returns to her conviction that Tito must be killed; the Capitol must be set on fire and in the confusion Tito murdered.

	The Prague Post Online: Night & Day: A winning reprise
		Mozart was commissioned to compose La clemenza for the coronation of Czech King Leopold II in the fall of 1791, a busy and difficult time for Prague's adopted son.
		The story of La clemenza had been popular on opera stages for much of the 18th century: Titus, the Roman emperor, has his reputation for clemency put to the test when one of his best friends, Sesto, betrays him — unknown to Titus, at the behest of Vitellia, who longs to be the emperor's wife.
		The Prague premiere of La clemenza was a dud, with Leopold's wife, the Empress Maria Luisa, falling asleep and famously dismissing it afterward as "porcheria tedesca" (German swinishness).

		Thereafter Titus showed remarkable forbearance to all who plotted against him, and his only warfare was in Britain, where Agricola took his forces to Scotland and the Tay.
		Leopold II, for whose Prague coronation in 1791 the opera was commissioned and speedily composed, smiled initially at the French Revolution, but naturally showed alarm when it seemed even his sister Marie Antoinette and her husband might be heading for 'La veuve'.
		Leopold died (1792) before he could take effective action against a French movement become ever more bloodthirsty, égal and fraternal in its choice of victims.
