Three operas on subjects taken from Roman history 3: Lucio Silla
Opera in three acts by Mozart Libretto by GIOVANNI DE GAMERRA
(sung in Italian: records)
First performed in Milan, 1772 Set in Rome in 79 BC, Mozart's opera is concerned mainly with the marital problems of one of the most feared of all Roman dictators - Lucius Cornelius Sulla, renowned for his ruthless military campaigns, his indiscriminate elimination of opponents and his reactionary political reforms. True to opera seria convention these unpalatable truths are passed over and Sulla is shown to be a merciful and magnanimous ruler, forgiving those who plot against him and in the end abdicating graciously (which he in fact did).

The Apple in the Eye by MARGARET HOLLINGSWORTH
' If I were to take a very sharp knife and gently, so very gently, cut through my mind, how would it be? Soft and spongy like sodium? If I were to put it in water would it ride over the surface? Race around and burn itself out? No. I wouldn't let that happen. Keep the mind dry. My mind would be like an apple....'
