Mozart’s masterwork of opera
seria (tragedies based on classical myths and heroes). Making extensive use
of the chorus to depict the sufferings of the common people, and introducing a
corps de ballet in the manner of French opera, it was a major success when
it premiered. Appropriately, as it was commissioned by the Elector of Bavaria,
who possessed the finest court music ensemble of the day, Mozart displays his
genius not only in the splendid arias but in his flawless orchestration, at once
refined and bold.

Synopsis
Idomeneo, King of Crete, returning
in triumph from the Trojan War, encounters a storm en route and is shipwrecked,
but saved by Neptune, god of the sea. In return, Idomeneo pledges to offer the
first person he encounters on shore as a human sacrifice to the god—but the
first person he meets happens to be his son Idamante. A retainer advises Idomeneo
to send Idamante, who is in love with Ilia, the captive Queen of Troy, to accompany
Elettra, daughter of the king of Argos, back to her homeland. Meanwhile, Ilia
learns of the terrible fate awaiting her lover and volunteers to be sacrificed
in his stead. Suddenly, the voice of Neptune is heard, and at his bidding Idamante
becomes king, Ilia his queen, and the people rejoice in their marriage.
