Mozart's Idomeneo

Idomeneo from the New York Met, with a cast including Michael Spyres, Kate Lindsey and Ying Fang, and conducted by Manfred Honeck.

Idomeneo, the King of Crete, is sailing home from war in stormy waters which will only abate when he swears he'll offer as a sacrifice the first person he sees on landing. This person happens to be his son, Idamante. When he tries to go back on his promise, Crete is afflicted by destruction, and the King realises he must choose between his son and his people. Tenor Michael Spyres sings the title role, alongside mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey as the noble prince Idamante and soprano Ying Fang as his conflicted beloved, Ilia.

Presented by Debra Lew Harder, in converstation with Ira Siff.
