The opera apparently owed much of its success at its first performance to the set designs: With it he demonstrated a mastery of orchestral color, accompanied recitatives, and melodic line. Mozart fought with the librettist, the court chaplain Varesco, making large cuts and changes, even down to specific words and vowels disliked by the singers too many "i"s in "rinvigorir", which in Italian is pronounced as in b ee. Idomeneo was performed three times in Munich. Later in Mozart considered but did not put into effect revisions that would have brought the work closer into line with Gluck's style; this would have meant a bass Idomeneo and a tenor Idamante.

A concert performance was given in at the Palais Auersperg in Vienna. For this, Mozart wrote some new music, made some cuts, and changed Idamante from a castrato to a tenor. Today Idomeneo is part of the standard operatic repertoire.

Idomeneo, K.366 (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus)

There are several recordings of it see below , and it is regularly performed. In there was a controversy over the cancelling of a production directed by Hans Neuenfels at the Deutsche Oper Berlin see Idomeneo controversy. The approach of the th anniversary of Idomeneo' s premiere placed some major European opera houses in a quandary: The solution hit on in Munich and Vienna was to have Idomeneo adapted for modern tastes, but to show due reverence to Mozart's genius by entrusting the adaptations to famous twentieth-century opera composers with impeccable credentials as Mozarteans.

Thus Munich commissioned an Idomeneo revision from Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari , performed in , and the same year the Vienna State Opera presented a distinctively interventionist version of the score by Richard Strauss. For his adaptation of Idomeneo , Strauss employed a German libretto by Lothar Wallerstein that was partially a translation of the original Italian libretto, but with some changes to reflect the rearranging of the music.

For example, Ilia's opening aria " Padre, germani, addio! A few major changes to the plot were made as well, such as changing princess Elettra to priestess Ismene.

Idomeneo, K. 366

Critics have noted that Strauss's additions contain an interesting blend of the classical style of composition and Strauss's own characteristic sound. The overture , in D major and common time , is in a modified sonata form in which the development is but a very short transition section connecting the exposition with the recapitulation. Other conventional hallmarks of the sonata form are apparent: The overture concludes with a coda ending in D major chords. These chords, soft and tentative, turn out not to be a resolution of the overture in the tonic but chords in the dominant of G minor , which is the home key of the scene that immediately follows.

Island of Crete , shortly after the Trojan War. Ilia, daughter of the defeated Trojan King Priam , was taken to Crete after the war.

Performance history

She loves Prince Idamante, son of Idomeneo, but she hesitates to acknowledge her love. Idamante frees the Trojan prisoners in a gesture of good will. He tells Ilia, who is rejecting his love, that it is not his fault that their fathers were enemies. Trojans and Cretans together welcome the return of peace, but Electra , daughter of the Greek King Agamemnon , is jealous of Ilia and does not approve of Idamante's clemency toward the enemy prisoners.

Arbace, the king's confidant, brings news that Idomeneo has been lost at sea while returning to Crete from Troy. Electra, fearing that Ilia, a Trojan, soon will be Queen of Crete, feels the furies of Hades tormenting her. Idomeneo is saved by Neptune god of the sea and is washed up on a Cretan beach. There he recalls the vow he made to Neptune: Idamante approaches him, but because the two have not seen each other for a long time, recognition is difficult. When Idomeneo finally realizes the youth that he must sacrifice for the sake of his vow is his own child, he orders Idamante never to seek him out again.

Grief-stricken by his father's rejection, Idamante runs off. Cretan troops disembarking from Idomeneo's ship are met by their wives, and all praise Neptune. At the king's palace, Idomeneo seeks counsel from Arbace, who says another victim could be sacrificed if Idamante were sent into exile.

Idomeneo orders his son to escort Electra to her home, Argos. Idomeneo's kind words to Ilia move her to declare that since she has lost everything, he will be her father and Crete her country. As she leaves, Idomeneo realizes that sending Idamante into exile has cost Ilia her happiness as well as his own. Electra welcomes the idea of going to Argos with Idamante.
