Hello everyone
Anyone watched/listened to the Met gala concert (re)broadcast for the departing general manager?
Toward the end Susan Graham sang an aria with clarinet obligato.
I missed the titles at the beginning.
Anyone knows which opera this is from?
Thank you.

Mozart's "Titus" sometimes also titled "Tito". The aria is " Parto, Parto". It was nice playing as well as wonderful singing.

The opera is called La Clemenza di Tito, Mozart's last opera, at least the last one he started composing.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

I always thought that Magic Flute was Mozart's last opera K620. I know, Tito is K621.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Clemenza_di_Tito
"La clemenza di Tito (The Clemency of Titus), K. 621, is an opera seria written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was in fact his very last opera, being started after the bulk of Die Zauberflöte was already written (though Mozart did not complete Die Zauberflöte until his return to Vienna after the Prague premiere of Tito) . Alleged by Mozart's earliest biographer Niemetschek to have been completed in just 18 days — in such haste that the simple recitatives were supplied by another, probably Mozart's pupil Süssmayr"
