    Mitridate, re di Ponto

    Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre 219 Tremont Street, Boston, MA, Boston, United States

    Passion and politics collide in this star-studded production of Mozart’s rarely performed work. Against the backdrop of a raging war, the King of Pontus must put his family’s loyalty to the test. With a bristling score written by Mozart at the age of 14, Mitridate explores the tension of family ties amidst jealousy, aging, betrayal, and desire. BLO Music Director David Angus conducts and stage director James Darrah leads an extraordinary cast that includes Brenda Rae as Aspasia, John Holiday as Farnace, and celebrated tenor Lawrence Brownlee in the title role.
