Did You Know?

Written when the composer was 24, Idomeneo was Mozart's first mature opera seria, and with it he demonstrated his mastery of orchestral color, accompanied recitatives, and melodic line.

A concert performance was given in 1786 at the Auersperg palace in Vienna, and as well as changing Idamantes from a castrato to a tenor, Mozart wrote some new music and cut out other parts.In the late 1920s, Richard Strauss began working on a revised version of Idomeneo.

He probably chose the subject, though it might have been Mozart.David Cairns, Mozart and his operas, 2006, p.36The libretto clearly draws its inspiration from Metastasio and its overall layout, not to mention the type of character development which Metastasio had developed and mostly from the highly poetic language used in the various numbers and the secco and stromentato recitatives.

Arbace, the king's confidant, brings news that Idomeneo has been lost at sea while returning to Crete from Troy.

Mozart and Varesco were commissioned in 1780 by Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria for a court carnival.
