Speranza
1791 Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart - La Clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus) -
The opera is based on a libretto by Metastasio, edited into a more
useful state by court poet Caterino Mazzolà, whom, unusually, Mozart credited
for his revision in Mozart's own catalog of his compositions.
The story is based
on the life of Roman Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus, and was elaborated by
Metastasio from some brief hints in the Lives of the Caesars by the Roman writer
Suetonius.
