Mitridate, re di Ponto, K. 87 Mozart

Young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's first trip to Italy with his father bore fruit:
in 1770 he was commissioned to write an opera for what would later become La Scala in Milan, at the time of the already prestigious Teatro Regio Ducal. The 14-year-old prodigy was tasked with setting the libretto by Vittorio Amedeo Cigna-Santi, based on Racine’s only tragedy with a happy ending, Mithridates (1673), to music.

This ferocious fictional character follows in the footsteps of the real-life King of Pontus, a historical figure who distinguished himself by his resistance to the Roman conquests: he fascinated and inspired numerous operas in the 18th century. Set in an ancient Orient full of passion, the plot oscillates between love and politics, with two enemy brothers and betrayal and jealousy as their sisters. His thirst for revenge orders poison, but in the end the tyrant dies a hero’s death and reunites the lovers.

While Mozart was still young, the great composer was already present, with his expressive and moving recitatives, his powerful arias moving from fury to sweetness, as well as the grace of his vocalisations.

This opera seria has only been performed in Lausanne once before, in 1984, the year the Théâtre Municipal – the forerunner of today’s Opéra – was founded. We are therefore delighted to offer a new production, which will see the Lausanne debuts of Emmanuelle Bastet and of Andreas Spering, who will conduct the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne for the first time.

English

Le premier voyage en Italie du jeune Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart avec son père porte ses fruits ;
on lui commande en 1770 un opéra pour ce qui deviendra La Scala de Milan, à l’époque le déjà prestigieux Teatro Regio Ducale. Le prodige de quatorze ans doit mettre en musique le livret de Vittorio Amedeo Cigna-Santi, d’après la seule tragédie de Racine qui se termine bien, Mithridate (1673).

C’est que ce féroce personnage de fiction suit les pas du vrai roi du Pont, figure historique qui s’est illustrée dans sa résistance aux conquêtes romaines : il fascine et inspire de nombreux opéras au XVIIIe siècle. Dans un Orient antique plein de passion, l’intrigue oscille entre amour et politique, avec deux frères ennemis et pour sœurs la trahison et la jalousie. Sa soif de vengeance ordonne du poison mais, au final, le tyran meurt en héros et réunit les amoureux.

Mozart est jeune mais le grand Mozart est déjà présent, avec ses récitatifs expressifs et émouvants, ses arias puissantes passant de la fureur à la douceur et la grâce de ses vocalises.

Cet opera seria n’a été donné à Lausanne qu’une seule fois, en 1984, année de création du Théâtre Municipal, ancêtre de l’Opéra d’aujourd’hui. Nous sommes donc heureux d’en proposer une nouvelle production, qui verra les débuts à Lausanne à la mise en scène d’Emmanuelle Bastet, et d’Andreas Spering, qui dirigera l’Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne pour la première fois.
