Il Mitridate Eupatore (Mithridates Eupator) is an opera seria in five acts by the Italian composer Alessandro Scarlatti with a libretto by Girolamo Frigimelica Roberti.
In the ancient kingdom of Pontus, Farnace has seized the throne, killing the king and marrying his wife, Stratonica.
The murdered king's daughter, Laodice, has been married to the ruined nobleman, Nicomede, now reduced to working as a cowherd, while her brother, Mitridate Eupatore, has taken refuge in Egypt.
Mitridate and Issicratea assassinate Farnace and Stratonica, and Nicomede announces to the people the return of their rightful king.
The opera was performed in July 2017 at the Festival de Beaune by Thibault Noally and his ensemble Les Accents.
