This performance of Mozart’s early masterpiece marks its return to the Metropolitan Opera after more than a decade. Music Director Emeritus James Levine, who led the work’s premiere in 1982, conducts this visually striking production. Tenor Matthew Polenzani portrays the Cretan king Idomeneo, grappling with a difficult choice, while Alice Coote delivers a captivating performance as his son, Idamante. Nadine Sierra embodies the Trojan princess Ilia, and Elza van den Heever portrays the jealous Elettra. Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s production combines the drama of ancient myth with the refinement of Enlightenment ideals.
