With a nod, perhaps, to Graham Vick’s Samurai-influenced Covent Garden staging (Opus Arte, 7/95), Satoshi Miyagi’s Berlin production draws on Japanese kabuki theatre in its costumes, set designs and gestures. In the process, the opera becomes a timeless cultural clash between Mitridate’s Asia and a Europe symbolised by the Roman general Marzio and his troops, dressed in modern uniform. ... As the (here) physically hobbled King Mitridate, the fast-risen Samoan tenor Pene Pati commands both lyrical inwardness and heroic power, and duly brings the house down in each of his solos. ... Ana Maria Labin, as Aspasia, immediately sets out her stall in the fiery coloratura of her entrance aria. This is a princess not to be messed with. ... I enjoyed this handsomely stylised production more than I expected, thanks above all to the dramatic vitality of the singing and playing. And if you’ve seen one hyperactive opera staging too many, this could be the perfect antidote.
