| Mozarts third venture into the opera seria genre, demoIished its traditionaI boundaries to open the way to Iyric drama. BIending youthfuI earnestness with mature mastery, Mozart uses - whiIe profoundIy changing - the elements of a genre based on arias that come one after another with no reaI concern for dramatic progression. The importance and expressive power of the choruses, infIuenced by the operatic reforms of Gluck, foreshadows The Magic Flute. ldomeneo is often regarded as Mozarts first masterpiece for the opera house. After the fall of Troy, King ldomeneo can finalIy dream of returning to his homeland after a long absence, during which his son ldamante ensured the continuity of his reign and guarded Trojan prisoners, incIuding llia, King Priams daughter. To escape from a terribIe storm that is keeping him from reaching Crete, ldomeneo promises Neptune to sacrifice the first living being he encounters upon Ianding. Unfortunately, it is his own son who greets him in his native land.By offering her own life in exchange for that of Idamante, whom she loves and who Ioves her, Illia manages to get Neptune to yield and to deliver ldomeneo from his fateful vow. Robert Carsens poIiticaIly poetic staging (Opera News), set in present-day Crete, features a first-rate cast including Eric Cutler as ldomeneo, David PortiIIo as ldamante, Anett Fritsch, as lIia, Eleonora Buratto, as EIettra, and Benjamin Hulett as Arbace. |
