Idomeneo Mozart

For five years, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had not presented an opera on the stage. Then, in 1781, he finally received the long-awaited commission to write one. The drama he was being asked to set was a tragedy in the French style. Despite the difficulties posed by the task of turning it into a magnificent opera seria for the Munich carnival, the commission fired his imagination. Returning home to Crete from the Trojan War, King Idomeneo and his fleet of ships are caught in a raging storm. In a desperate attempt to be saved, he promises Neptune, god of the sea, to sacrifice the first person he meets on land, little knowing that this will be his own son. Mozart used this tale to write an anti-war opera in which he articulated his own “good news” for the first time: the triumph of humanism through the all-conquering power of love. With his music he not only transcended the rigid forms of the libretto he was forced to work with, but went even further: the work, like a kind of template, already contains all the stories, characters and emotions that were to give his later operas their everlasting popularity. Eighteen years after this masterpiece reopened the Theater an der Wien as Vienna’s third opera house in 2006, this new production, directed by the theatre’s artistic director, marks the return of the opera house to its newly refurbished home.

English

Fünf Jahre hatte Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart keine Oper mehr auf die Bühne gebracht, als ihn für das Jahr 1781 ein heiß ersehnter Kompositionsauftrag erreichte. Das zu vertonende Drama: eine Tragödie im französischen Stil, die trotz ihrer problematischen Umwandlung in eine prunkvolle Opera seria für den Münchener Karneval die volle Schöpferkraft des Komponisten entzündete. Aus dem Trojanischen Krieg nach Kreta zurückkehrend, gerät König Idomeneo mit seiner Flotte in einen gewaltigen Sturm. Für seine Rettung verspricht er Gott Neptun, den ersten Menschen zu opfern, der ihm an Land begegnet, nicht ahnend, dass dies sein eigener Sohn sein wird. Mozart nutzte diese Geschichte für eine Anti-Kriegsoper, in der er seine eigene „frohe Botschaft“ zum ersten Mal ausformulierte: den Sieg des Humanismus durch die alles überwindende Macht der Liebe. Mit seiner Musik transzendierte er die starren Formen des ihm aufgezwungenen Librettos, ja mehr noch: Wie in einer Blaupause sind hier schon alle Geschichten, Figuren und Empfindungen angelegt, die seine späteren Opern unsterblich machen sollten. 18 Jahre nachdem das Theater an der Wien 2006 als drittes Opernhaus der Stadt mit diesem Meisterwerk wiedereröffnet wurde, markiert die Neuproduktion in der Regie seines Intendanten die Rückkehr des MusikTheaters an der Wien in sein saniertes Stammhaus.
