Jan Nato, A night at the opera By: Regina Ramos-Urbano WINNIPEG – Unrequited love, betrayal, star-crossed lovers and attempted murder were all on stage August 22nd at St. Boniface Cathedral. At the centre of this mayhem was Jan Nato in the title role of Tito in Manitoba Underground Opera’s production of Mozart’s opera La clemenza di Tito. Nato as Tito asserted his powerful tenor voice to show clemency and forgiveness to avert tragedy and certain death of several characters. The entire cast received a well-deserved standing ovation from the capacity crowd for their outstanding performances. See JAN p23
