Mozart: Idomeneo

Idomeneo is considered as the first of the seven uncontested masterworks of Mozart’s dramatic oeuvre and it is perhaps even the most revolutionary and forward-looking of his work. In 'Kasper Holten’s coherent production' (Die Presse) Bernard Richter was 'a cultivated bright tenor with beautiful expressive moments' (Kronen Zeitung). 'Valentina Nafornit¸a performed the role of Ilia with passion and reached every height with ease and Irina Lungu portrayed Elettra as a great tragic figure and unfolded her soprano with verve in the final aria' (Kurier). Conductor Tomáš Netopil provided with the orchestra 'gripping moments from the virtuoso overture onwards' (Kronen Zeitung)
