About the performance

A mythological story of love and jealousy, sacrifice and exile, natural disaster and divine intervention, Idomeneo is set in the aftermath of the Trojan Wars. It is undoubtedly one of Mozart's greatest operatic achievements.

Sir Roger Norrington leads the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus in a concert performance of this masterpiece of opera seria with a cast which includes the incomparable voices of Joyce DiDonato, Rosemary Joshua, Emma Bell and Kurt Streit singing the roles of Idamante, Ilia, Elettra and Idomeneo.
