INTENSE DRAMA
FATALITY
MYTHOLOGY
HEARLING
Libretto by Giambattista Varesco
In mythical times, at the end of the Trojan War, on his return to his homeland, Idomeneo, king of Crete, promises Neptune that if he emerges safe and sound from the terrible storm that torments the waves, he will sacrifice the first person who will come to him. Alas, his son Idamante welcomes him to his native soil...

Following his calamitous trip to Mannheim and Paris, Mozart, forced by his intransigent father, Leopold, to return to Salzburg to resume his activities with the archbishop, is in despair. During the trip, he did not obtain anything professionally, he lost his mother in Paris and suffered the most cruel breakup of his existence signified by Aloysia Weber. When Mozart received the commission for a new opera seria for Munich for the carnival of 1781, the theme and the libretto imposed on him bear many similarities to his own situation. The legend of Idoménée, of her son Idamante and of her loves inspires her with a deeply invested opera, with exceptional vocality and very high-level orchestral writing. By taking great liberties with the aging genre of opera seria,

The composer knew Munich well and this commission was an opportunity not only to settle accounts with those who had made him suffer, but also to distance himself from the archbishop who was soon to dismiss him, paving the way for a whole new life in Vienna…

MYTHOLOGIE
DÉCHIRANT
Livret de Giambattista Varesco
Aux temps mythiques, à l’issue de la Guerre de Troie, lors de son retour en sa patrie, Idomeneo, roi de Crête, promet à Neptune que s’il sort sain et sauf de la terrible tempête qui tourmente les flots, il sacrifiera la première personne qui se présentera à lui. Hélas, son fils Idamante l’accueille sur le sol natal…

À la suite de son calamiteux voyage à Mannheim et Paris, Mozart, obligé par son intransigeant père, Léopold, de rentrer à Salzbourg pour reprendre ses activités auprès de l’archevêque, est désespéré. Durant le voyage, il n’a rien obtenu professionnellement, il a perdu sa mère à Paris et a subi la rupture amoureuse la plus cruelle de son existence signifiée par Aloysia Weber. Quand Mozart reçoit la commande d’un nouvel opéra seria pour Munich pour le carnaval de 1781, le thème et le livret qui lui sont imposés comportent de nombreuses similitudes avec sa propre situation. La légende d’Idoménée, de son fils Idamante et de ses amours lui inspire un opéra profondément investi, d’une vocalité exceptionnelle et d’une écriture orchestrale de très haut niveau. En prenant de grandes libertés avec le genre vieillissant de l’opéra seria, Mozart tire magistralement les leçons de la réforme de Gluck qui tendait à plus de tension et de vérité dans le déroulement de l’action.

Le compositeur connaissait bien Munich et cette commande était l’occasion, non seulement de régler ses comptes avec ceux qui l’avaient fait souffrir, mais aussi de prendre ses distances avec l’archevêque qui allait bientôt le congédier, ouvrant la voie à une toute nouvelle vie à Vienne…
