Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato sings Sesto at the Met for the first time, and tenor Matthew Polenzani adds yet another role to his extensive Mozartian repertoire as Tito. Mozart’s opera of vengeance and forgiveness, set during the Roman Empire, also stars sopranos Elza van den Heever as Vitellia, with Ying Fang, Emily D’Angelo and bass Christian Van Horn completing the principal cast. Lothar Koenigs conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
