Jealousy. Conspiracy. Loyalty. And the masterful music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart propelling a story of intrigue, remorse, and fragile redemption. Vitellia, the daughter of the former emperor, uses her admirer Sesto, played by Kindermusik teacher Jenifer Weber, in a plot to remove the beloved Emperor Tito, who does not return her affections. She sets off a tragic and unpredictable chain of events. A fire, confusion and revelation move Mozart’s work towards a heart-breaking and surprising conclusion. This fascinating opera was first performed in 1791, but its timeless themes transport audiences to the dangerous days of 80 A.D. Rome where power struggles and betrayal characterize the landscape of politics and love. Sung in Italian with surtitles. Fully staged, directed by Patrick Brannan. Accompanied by the Undercroft Orchestra, conducted by Walter Morales.
Jenifer appears on Saturday, February 25th only at 7:30pm at the Seton Center at 1900 Pioneer Ave. in Brookline.
Tickets range in price from $20-$35 and children under 12 are half price. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.
