Lucio Silla is not often performed today, although it was given by The Santa Fe Opera in 2005 and in Warsaw in June 2011. It was performed by the Classical Opera Company in London on 8 March 2012, conducted by Ian Page. Performances were presented at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in June and July 2013. That same year, it was performed at the Mozartwoche Salzburg in January and the Salzburg Festival in the summer; both performances were directed and choreographed by Opera Atelier's Co-Artistic Directors, Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg.
