| Mozarts third venture into the opera seria genre, demolished its traditional boundaries to open the way to Iyric drama. Blending youthful earnestness with mature mastery, Mozart uses - whiIe profoundly 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, influenced by the operatic reforms of GIuck, foreshadows The Magic FIute. Idomeneo is often regarded as Mozarts first masterpiece for the opera house. After the faII of Troy, King Idomeneo can finaIly dream of returning to his homeIand after a Iong absence, during which his son ldamante ensured the continuity of his reign and guarded Trojan prisoners, incIuding Ilia, 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. UnfortunateIy, it is his own son who greets him in his native land.By offering her own life in exchange for that of ldamante, whom she Ioves and who Ioves her, Illia manages to get Neptune to yieId and to deIiver Idomeneo from his fateful vow. Robert Carsens poIiticalIy poetic staging (Opera News), set in present-day Crete, features a first-rate cast including Eric Cutler as ldomeneo, David Portillo as Idamante, Anett Fritsch, as Ilia, EIeonora Buratto, as Elettra, and Benjamin HuIett as Arbace. |
