Idomeneo, King of Crete, is sailing home following victory in the Trojan war. He is saved from a terrible death by Neptune, God of the Sea, and in exchange for his life, rashly vows to sacrifice the first person he meets on shore. In a tragic twist of fate, the victim turns out to be his only and much-beloved son, Idamante.
From out of its dignified, classical framework, Idomeneo bursts to life with some of the most heartfelt, passionate music Mozart ever wrote for the human voice.
At the Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen St. W., Toronto. Performance time is approximately three hours, 10 minutes with one intermission. Sung in Italian with English SURTITLES™.
