Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito—a story of betrayal, political upheaval, and the radical choice of mercy. In an era marked by deep polarization and the global demand for accountable leadership, this late Mozart masterpiece offers a striking portrait of a ruler who chooses forgiveness over vengeance. Set against the backdrop of a crumbling republic, the opera explores what it truly means to lead with integrity, compassion, and resilience. With a libretto by Metastasio and Mazzolà, Tito challenges us to imagine a different kind of power—one rooted not in domination, but in grace.
