About

The Staatsoper Berlin presents a new production of Mozart's early masterpiece Mitridate, re di Ponto. This captivating tale of love, power and betrayal revolves around a king and his two sons who vie for the love of the same woman. Under the baton of Marc Minkowski, Les Musiciens du Louvre bring fresh energy and nuance to Mozart's intricate opera seria, while the all-star cast shines with an impressive vocal range. In a staging where different worlds converge, director Satoshi Miyagi and his Japanese production team have created an atmosphere that is nothing short of magical. "Marc Minkowski and his brilliant orchestra Les Musiciens du Louvre [...] a real coup." (Tagesspiegel) "Singing feats of brilliance!" (Berliner Zeitung)

Vocal virtuosity, which is crucial in such a piece, is best exemplified in the title-role by rising star tenor Pene Pati, who is up to every possible demand...Alert, lively playing from period-instrument orchestra Les Musiciens du Louvre under the spirited Marc Minkowski; but as a whole dramatic justice is not done.

I enjoyed this handsomely stylised production more than I expected, thanks above all to the dramatic vitality of the singing and playing. And if you’ve seen one hyperactive opera staging too many, this could be the perfect antidote.'
