Idomeneo, re di Creta
Free Streaming
In Mozart’s great breakthrough opera, a king faces the agonizing choice between the life of his son or the salvation of his people
On his return home from the Trojan War, Idomeneo, King of Crete, is caught with his ship in a violent storm. Amid the turbulent waves and looming cliffs, he makes a terrible vow to Neptune, the god of the sea: if he and his men are spared, he will sacrifice the first person he encounters on dry land. When Idomeneo washes up on a beach in Crete and lays eyes on his own child, Idamante, he finds himself plunged in a veritable nightmare.
