You love The Marriage of Figaro. Now discover a different side of Mozart.
In Idomeneo: A Trojan Tale, Mozart trades comedy for mythic drama in a powerful
story of war, sacrifice, and family. Returning home after the Trojan War, King
Idomeneo makes a desperate bargain with the gods to save his son—only to face
the devastating cost of that promise.

Reimagined by Francesca Zambello and Kelley Rourke, this theatrical adaptation
draws inspiration from ancient Greek theater, placing raw human emotion at
the center of Mozart’s magnificent score. Connecting Mozart’s ravishing arias
and ensembles, a newly created character, the Trojan Woman, guides the story
forward, while the orchestra performs onstage in a fully immersive production.
Featuring acclaimed tenor Gregory Kunde in the title role, alongside current
Cafritz Young Artists, Idomeneo reveals Mozart at his most intimate, urgent, and
emotionally powerful.

Sung in Italian.

Two hours and 5 minutes, including one 25-minute intermission.
