+/-16 Mar - 3 Apr 2010Malena Ernman and Ingela Bohlin in Idomeneo, re di Creta at La MonnaieTo survive a shipwreck on his return from the Trojan War, Idomeneus, King of Crete, promises Neptune that he will sacrifice the first person he meets when he reaches land. It is his son Idamantes whom he encounters when he steps onto the shore. With Idomeneo, Mozart tells us the story of an insoluble conflict between a promise made to the gods and the feelings of a father. Divine law and the imperatives of love meet head-on.
