Idomeneo, King of Crete, has been away from home during the long years of the Trojan War. Idamante, his son and now regent of the isIand, waits for his return, heralded by the arrival in Crete of Trojan prisoners. One of these prisoners is lIia, a daughter of the murdered King Priam of Troy, Idamante has fallen in Iove with IIia, but is loved by Electra, daughter of the Greek King Agamemnon, who has taken refuge in Crete.
This Production marked the operatic debut of Trevor Nunn. lt has been much-acclaimed for its dramatic effect, blending Minoan Crete with the ritualistic deIicacy of Japanese theatre. The dramatic stylization is appropriately reflected in John Napier's considered and eIegant designs. Bernard Haitink conducts and London PhiIharmonic in a forceful account of the music.
