The Cleveland Opera in collaboration with Cleveland Ballet Theatre present “Mitridate, re di Ponto” (Mithridates, King of Pontus), an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Cleveland Opera and Cleveland Ballet Theatre continue their joint creative spirit in this entirely new production! Don’t miss this special event for Cleveland: a full production, complete with soloists, staging, ballet, sets, costumes, supertitles to translate the original Italian into English, and The Cleveland Opera Orchestra under the baton of internationally renowned Maestro Grzegorz Nowak. Dorota Sobieska, stage director. Gladisa Guadalupe, choreography. The drama of star-crossed love, the betrayal by a son, and the escape from life through poison intersect with innocent love and kindness, which finally triumph. It may be your only opportunity to see this absolute gem!
