A connoisseur of Mozart, the brilliant young British conductor Ben Glassberg had originally booked a concert version of La Clemenza di Tito to inaugurate his debut as conductor of the Opera de Rouen Normandie in Autumn 2020. However, the Covid epidemic ultimately put an end to this project.
Not wanting to squander all the preparatory work and rehearsals, it was instead decided to make a studio recording. There are no complaints here–this new version (which was produced in just four days) is remarkable in every way. Ben Glassberg's direction is theatrical and inspired, and the cast is simply flawless, with English tenor Nicky Spence shining as the strong and noble Titus. The rest of the cast is equally stellar, featuring the incredible Mozartian singers Simona Šaturová (Vitellia) and Anna Stéphany (Sesto).
La Clémence de Titus is Mozart's last opera and was hastily composed at the same time as The Magic Flute. Unfortunately, it doesn’t receive the same recognition, even though it’s full of superb arias that beautifully express the complexity of human emotion, but in the somewhat staid style of the ‘opera seria’.
Though that production by the Opera de Rouen Normandie was cancelled, it has resulted in the studio recording of an entire Mozart opera… Every cloud has a silver lining. © François Hudry/Qobuz
