“The cast, headlined by the lustrous-voiced Latvian mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča, is consistently top-notch…[Garanča] embodies the plight of the anguished young hero with moving restraint, and in her two arias she produces luminous sounds that seem to linger suspended in the air like shining pearls.”— Associated Press
"A superb revival of Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito… was more than the sum of its excellent parts, thanks to the imaginative and vigorous conducting of Harry Bicket. The Ponnelle production, with 1700s costumes and Roman ruins against a palette of warm brown-blacks and parchment whites... should look particularly handsome when the opera is telecast in HD on Dec. 1. But for the operatic epicure, it's a gourmet feast."-- New York Post
