Mitridate

...Covent Garden

...'Nobody ever talks about Graham Vick’s 26-year-old production of Mitridate, re di Ponto – it seemed to have sunk without trace – but Covent Garden’s revival is a reminder of how stunningly original it was, and still is. Mozart composed this work when he was 14, and had to endure endless interference from singers who wanted ever more showy arias, but as it progresses you can sense him finding his true voice.' Michael Church, Independent
