| 31-Jan-2013 Leeds Grand Theatre | A new production of Clemenza di Tito from John Fulljames and Opera North |
 This new production of Mozart’s final, and often overlooked, opera from John Fulljames and Opera North is neither a period piece nor a straightforward translation into our own time. Instead, it inhabits it own dark and austere world created by set designer Conor Murphy and Finn Ross, whose stylish abstract projections incorporate elements of government buildings both ancient and modern. The Emperor and his advisors, dressed all in black, are presented as gloomy goths, the only colour being provided by the love of Tito’s life, Berenice.Read full review... | |
