On the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the Theater an der Wien as the new opera house of the City of Vienna, the two composers who are important for the history of the house will be given their place with two anniversary concerts: in addition to Beethoven's Fidelio, we also present Mozart's Idomeneo under the musical direction by René Jacobs, one of the most important conductors for the repertoire of the 18th century, who has also shaped the profile of the Theater an der Wien in the last ten years.
With Idomeneo, composed for the carnival at the Munich court (1781), the young Mozart tried to innovate the opera of his time: he combined forms of French opera with those of Italian and integrated choir and ballet. Since Mozart had one of the best orchestras of the time in Munich, the instrumental colors play a bigger role in the score than in any of his other operas. With the orchestral sound alone, Mozart subtly interprets the characters' exceptional psychological situations: a father who is supposed to sacrifice his son; a son who, against his father's will, loves a sad, captive princess; an offended princess and an angry god - the drama unfolds furiously in the music.
