Why is Mozart's last opera so underperformed and under appreciated? It's a very good opera, full of simple, beautiful music with memorable and famous arias, but there seems to be very few recordings and performances of it. The story is as entertaining as watching a dog lick his balls, but if that is the reason, then all Baroque opera should never be performed. I never liked the opera until recently when I started watching the Ponelle film, but I think the music is just as good as Mozart's other masterpieces. The aria parto parto was really boring to me before, but once I listened to it in context, it was gorgeous. The finales are also pretty cool, I love the screams in the end of act 1. So why don't you people listen to, and love La Clemenza?
