Mozart: Mitridate, re di Ponto (OAR3105D) (1993)<br /> <br /> Bruce Ford (Mitridate); Jochen Kowalski (Farnace); Ann Murray (Sifare); Luba Orgonasova (Aspasia); Lillian Watson (Ismene); The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House; Paul Daniel<br /> <br /> Mozart’s fourth opera - written when he was only 14 - displays all the hallmarks of the fresh, inventive writing that was to flourish into extraordinary genius in his later works and, with a cast as good as this, The Royal Opera’s production takes Mitridate, re di Ponto to the highest levels of operatic achievement. Based on a play by Jean Racine, it is a story of jealous love and political intrigue.<br /> <br /> "This is, unequivocally, a red-letter night at Covent Garden." (The Sunday Times)
