Opera Philadelphia: Mitridate, re di Ponto

  • Academy of Music 1420 Locust Street, Suite 210 Philadelphia, PA 19102 (map)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was just 14 years old when he wrote Mitridate, re di Ponto, a rare gem that has all the hallmarks of musical brilliance and hormonal adolescence. Angst, risky behavior, and fraught romance never sounded quite so good. Opera Philadelphia’s first production of Mitridate, re di Ponto stars blockbuster tenor Lawrence Brownlee as the titular king, alongside countertenor and OP General Director & President Anthony Roth Costanzo as his eldest son, Farnace, and soprano Meredith Wohlgemuth as the younger son, Sifare. Glittering soprano Lauren Snouffer portrays Aspasia, the woman all three love.
