Just saw the live performance of la Clemenza di Tito at Paris Opera

and found it immensly enjoyable. Nothing replaces live opera on the personal impact and getting the emotions through.
Distribution:
Tito Michael Spyres ***
Sesto Stephanie d'Oustrac ****
Vitellia Aleksandra Kurzak **
Annio Angela Brower ***
Valentina Naforniţa ***
Stephanie d'Oustrac was marvelous. I dont think it is possible to portray a better Sesto. Michael Spyres was fine but I dont think he masters the Mozartian repertoire as well as he does the 19th century french repertoire. But is there a living Mozartian tenor of the level of Wunderlich or Simoneau today ?
This opera is pure 18th century ware. Permeates with enlightments and naiveté. Probably why I like this opera so much.
Message: try to catch a live performance if you can. It is really worth it !
