Mozart had to wait five years for an opera commission before he was given the opportunity to write an opera for the Munich Carnival in 1780. The libretto was written by the Salzburg court chaplain Gianbattista Varesco, who endeavored to resolve the seemingly insoluble conflict of the title hero, who is supposed to sacrifice his own child, in a Christian sense. Mozart's composition can be called bold. For example, he is writing the first large solo ensemble in the history of the opera seria for Idomeneo, and compositionally some scenes already point to the age of Romanticism.
