Roland Bracht, Catherine Naglestad, Ekaterina Siurina
Choir and Orchestra of L’Opéra de Paris / Sylvain Cambreling
Stage directors Ursel and Karl-Ernst Herrmann

Commissioned for the coronation of Leopold II in Prague, Mozart’s
last opera is a deep, humane reflection on relationships, power and
forgiveness. With the composition of some of the most beautiful
passages in his oeuvre, Mozart has succeeded in giving this opera
seria both a noble sobriety and transparent instrumentation, to which
this commanding production by the Hermann partnership does full
justice on all levels. Susan Graham’s most extraordinary Sesto and
Christoph Prégardien’s superb Tito set the standard for this riveting
Opéra National de Paris performance, conducted by the outstanding
Sylvain Cambreling.
