Mozart wrote it at age 14 on behalf of Count Firmian, governor of Milan and patron, and premiered with great success at the Teatro Ducal Theater in that city. It was his first experience with serious opera. It tells the story of King Mitridate, who pretends to have died during a military campaign against the Romans, to test his children, in love with his young fiancee. Despite the initial success of this history of family intrigues and power, it was not represented again until the 20th century.
