'Idomeneo' is Mozart's human drama about the victims of war, the meaning of fate and the power of love. 'Idomeneo' is Mozart's first great opera. Its wonderful music makes great demands on the large cast, and the opera's everyday themes still touch audiences today.

Performed in Italian.

Estonian National Opera

The Estonian National Opera company, established in 1870, presents a wide range of operas, operettas, ballets, and musicals.

The opera house itself was constructed in 1913 as the initiative of the 'Estonia' song and drama society. At the time, this Art Nouveau structure was the largest in Tallinn. During the Second World War, the theater was destroyed. Restored in the 1950s under Soviet rule, the architects kept the original facade, but the rest of the building combines Neoclassical and Stalinist elements.
