Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Lucio Silla

Directed by Claus Guth

With Kurt Streit, Patricia Petibon, Silvia Tro Santafé, Inga Kalna and María José Moreno

The central character of Mozart’s opera Lucio Silla is inspired by the historical figure of Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, a dictator and Roman general who ruled during the 1st century BC. In this production at Madrid’s Teatro Real, an intriguing minimalist staging is complemented by Ivor Bolton’s expert music direction, and a talented cast.
