A storm rages off Crete and forces King Idomeneo, returning from the Trojan War, to make a fateful promise to Neptune: if the enraged god allows him to reach the land safely, he will sacrifice the first person he meets. Arriving at the beach, Idomeneo meets his son Idamante of all people. But the implacable world of the gods seems to insist on the fulfillment of the promise.
