Idomeneo
Idomeneo © Javier del Real / Teatro Real
Idomeneo (1781) as a very powerful anti-war statement with a conclusion built on hope. Robert Carsen places the action in today’s world on a Greek island in the Mediterranean. A strong army and displaced refugee prisoners evoke a modern version of the long Homeric war between the Trojans and the Greeks. “Greece belongs to the Greeks” is the unchanging thinking as represented by Idomeneo and Elettra, whereas Idamante and Ilia are hoping for a new world without war, where love and forgiveness will replace hatred and punishment.
