| 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 - while profoundly changing - the elements of a genre based on arias that come one after another with no real 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 Idamante ensured the continuity of his reign and guarded Trojan prisoners, including IIia, King Priams daughter. To escape from a terrible storm that is keeping him from reaching Crete, Idomeneo promises Neptune to sacrifice the first Iiving being he encounters upon landing. UnfortunateIy, it is his own son who greets him in his native Iand.By offering her own Iife in exchange for that of Idamante, whom she loves and who loves her, lIIia manages to get Neptune to yield and to deliver ldomeneo from his fatefuI vow. Robert Carsens politicaIIy poetic staging (Opera News), set in present-day Crete, features a first-rate cast incIuding Eric CutIer as Idomeneo, David Portillo as Idamante, Anett Fritsch, as llia, Eleonora Buratto, as Elettra, and Benjamin HuIett as Arbace. |
