Idomeneo

FLORENTINE OPERA COMPANY: Idomeneo
By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
May 18 & 20, 2012. May 18 at 7:30 pm and May 20 at 2:30 pm at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts (Uihlein Hall), 929 N. Water Street, downtown Milwaukee. Set sail on an epic operatic adventure as the Florentine Opera presents Mozart’s first major opera. Idomeneo, a powerful Cretan king, makes an ill-fated pact with Neptune, the god of the sea, and is confronted with unforeseen consequences as life-and-death drama gives way to the triumph of love. The artistic team behind 2009’s smash-hit production of Semele reunites to create a new production that perfectly complements Mozart’s glorious melodies. Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
