Ithaca, NY- The final performance of Ithaca College’s innovative production of Mozart’s “La clemenza di Tito,” is Saturday, March 4th at 8pm. Tickets are currently available online at Ithaca.ticketforce.com.
Jennifer Williams, stage director, brings a fresh conceptual approach that makes this 200 year-old opera surprisingly relevant. The Ithaca Times writes, "Just because Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito takes place in Rome in the year 79, don’t think that there aren’t parallels to our current political scene in the production at Ithaca College."
Bringing Mozart’s glorious score to life is conductor Christopher Zemliauskas ’97, an alumnus of IC’s School of Music. Both Williams and Zemliauskas bring new energy and perspective to classical works of music and challenge students – on stage, in the pit, backstage, and in the audience - to think critically about how ancient stories can still be relevant in modern times.
