some operas I have seen on videoW.A. Mozart, Mitridate, Re di Ponto (1770)
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, 1991
- Conductor: Hartmut Haenchen
- Director: Graham Vick
- Set Designer: Paul Brown
- Mitridate: Bruce Ford

Having the singers wear costumes shaped like coffee tables was perhaps not the greatest idea, but Covent Garden's first production of this early Mozart opera is lovely to listen to.
