Claus Guth returns to the Teatro Real this season to present the new production of one of Mozart's earliest operas: Mithridate, re di Ponto. The Teatro Real premiere of an opera characterised by a large number of arias requiring vocal virtuosity performed by an exceptional cast. 

An opera of intrigue and betrayal with a plot based on the love and political rivalry between King Mithridates and his sons Farnace and Sifare, both in love with Princess Aspasia.
