Description
Opera San Jose opens its 2011-12 season with Mozart's early work Idomeneo, a tale from the aftermath of the Trojan War. On his way home, the king of Crete makes a rash promise to the gods that threatens his son with sacrifice and the whole island with besiegement by a sea monster (talk about homeland security). Complicating matters is the not-insignificant fact that the son has fallen in love with the daughter of Priam, the king of Troy - a trophy piece of the conflict. The lead roles are double-cast, with Christopher Bengochea and Alexander Boyer trading off the lead part. - Michael S. Gant, SanJose.com
